Vin Scully, the legendary Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster died on Aug. 2. at the age of 94. honoured in a memorial service on Friday on the field at Dodger Stadium as a towering but modest figure whose contributions went beyond the team to be an integral part of baseball.
“He was more than only an ordinary Dodger He was passionate about the sport of baseball that everyone loves and is passionate about.” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated during the memorial ceremony that was held prior to the Blue Crew’s night match at home against San Diego Padres.
San Diego Padres. “Vin I won’t be around forever,” Roberts said from the field, flanked by teammates. A few players were wearing special caps decorated with images that resembled an older microphone that had wings.
“We love you. We’ll think of your every single day. Every time we go to a game and every fan who comes to Dodger Stadium, there’s a reason why you’ll be remembered. Your name will always be associated with the following five words: It’s the right time for Dodger Baseball,” Roberts said.
Roberts also made Dodgers announcers Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser reveal a bigger banner that was hung under the display window in the studio. It said: “We’ll Miss You, Vin.” It was a reference to the similar banner Scully revealed on his last day at the broadcast booth, the night of Sept.
24 on the 24th of September, 2016. The sign read “I’ll be missing You, Vin.” The ceremony also included an audio clip that highlighted Scully’s life-changing experiences and 67 years on the team.
