Vin Scully’s final broadcast will be simulcast in its entirety on Spectrum SportsNetLA, KTLA-TV Channel 5 and KLAC-AM (570), the Los Angeles Dodgers announced today.
The first three innings of Scully’s broadcasts are customarily simulcast, with the rest of his call heard only on television.
“We wanted to make sure that all of Vin’s fans are able to share in his final Dodger broadcast of an incredible 67-year Hall of Fame career,” said Lon Rosen, the Dodgers executive vice president & chief marketing officer.
Scully’s final game will be on Sunday, when the Dodgers play in San Francisco. He said he chose that game because it comes 80 years to the day when he saw a sign at a laundry in his native New York City reporting the score of Game 2 of the World Series that day — New York Yankees 18, New York Giants 4, that prompted him to become a baseball fan.
“It seems like the plan was laid out for me, and all I had to do was follow the instructions,” Scully said.
The Giants have a tribute planned for Scully at AT&T Park Sunday. His call of the third inning will be simulcast on the Giants’ television and radio outlets, CSN Bay Area and KNBR-AM (680).
