Dodgers legend Vin Scully had an army of fans and supporters

The Dodgers delivered an emotional message for the legend. The team said that Scully was actually the Dodgers’ conscience and their “poet laureate”. Scully was able to capture their beauty and chronicle their glory, praising top names like Jackie Robinsin, Sandy Koufax, kirk Gibson, Clayton Kershaw, and many others. One thing stands for sure. “…Scully was the heartbeat of the Dodgers.” In fact, he was “the heartbeat of all of Los Angeles.” We couldn’t agree more.

Scully called many nationally televised football and golf games for CBS Sports from 1975 to 1982. His broadcasting career started in 1949 and Scully joined the Dodgers radio and television in the 1950 season. He joined the franchise in Los Angeles in 1958 and stayed with them until 2019.

The LA legend also did broadcasts for Major League Baseball, the NFL, the PHA Tour, etc. He worked from NBC Sports from 1983 to 1989. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was one of the many MLB names to issue a statement following Scully’s death. Manfred described Scully as “an extraordinary man” with an incredible gift for broadcasting. Scully “brought joy to generations of Dodger fans,” as Manfred wrote in his statement. He was really proud of Scully and the role he had in Los Angeles.

We are sending our thoughts and prayers to Scully’s family, friends, and fans. His legacy will always live in our hearts.
