Legendary Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully dead at 94
Legendary Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully has passed away at the age of 94. The announcement was made on the official Dodgers Twitter account Tuesday evening. The Dodgers are on the road facing their rivals, the San Francisco Giants. Vin Scully retired from announcing Los Angeles Dodgers games in 2016, with his final game taking place October 2nd against the Giants. Scully's wife, Sandi, passed away January 3, 2021.
"We have lost an icon," Dodgers President & CEO Stan Kasten said in a statement."The Dodgers' Vin Scully was one of the greatest voices in all of sports. He was a giant of a man, not only as a broadcaster, but as a humanitarian. He loved people. He loved life. He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family. His voice will always be heard and etched in all of our minds forever. I know he was looking forward to joining the love of his life, Sandi.
"I'm able to get out, but in all honesty, for whatever, 100 different reasons, I guess, I'm just more content being in the house, far from the maddening crowd, I guess you could say," Vin Scully told the LA Times following his wife's death from ALS."I find a great deal of peace just being at home." "I'm all right. I believe it's God's plan. We had wonderful times together," he said."He's called Sandi home, and I'm just waiting for the call.""Oh, absolutely, without a doubt, I'd leave yesterday," he said.Photo credit Greg Doherty/WireImage via Getty
