Vin Scully, Dodgers broadcaster for 67 years, dies at 94

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully, whose dulcet tones provided the soundtrack of summer while entertaining and informing Dodgers fans in Brooklyn and Los Angeles for 67 years, died Tuesday night. “I will never forget you, my heart is broken.” The Dodgers changed players, managers, executives, owners — and even coasts — but Scully and his soothing, insightful style remained a constant for the fans. “I am proud that Vin was synonymous with baseball because he embodied the very best of our national pastime.” After the Dodgers’ 9-5 win, the Giants posted a Scully tribute on the videoboard. ‘I can sit back and root like everybody else’ At a news conference in October 2016, Vin Scully said he would always root for the Dodgers.
