Legendary Broadcaster Vin Scully to Make His Final Call in San Francisco

The Dodgers, now four games up on the Giants in the National League West with 19 games in the regular season, play San Francisco six more times, including three games starting next Monday, Sept. 19.

So here’s the deal: if you want to hear Scully call a game or two, make sure to tune in over the coming weeks. Games on September 24 and 25 against the Rockies will also be shown. I will say good-bye in San Francisco.

It would be wise to savor them, and to record as many as you can. He told The Times the venue will be fitting, because as an 8-year-old boy in New York, he became a baseball fan – and a Giants fan – after seeing a storefront sign announcing the score of that day’s World Series game: New York Yankees 18, New York Giants 4.

Scully is a piece of American history, connecting the Brooklyn Dodgers to the 21st century.

The Dodgers, who now hold a four-game lead over the Giants in the NL West, hope to send Scully off with a fourth consecutive division title. Scully notes that his final game will come 80 years to the day he picked up interest in the game.

It wasn’t news to Miller, who said Scully informed Giants broadcasters of his plan during the Giants’ series at Dodger Stadium, Aug. 23-25.

Although Scully’s most famous call may be one of Dodgers’ pinch-hitter Kirk Gibson beating Oakland in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, that call was on NBC’s national broadcast. I will say goodbye in San Francisco.

Charter said it will televise six games, including the Dodgers’ final regular-season road series against the rival San Francisco Giants.

So if you wanted to see Los Angeles go far exclusively due to Scully, feel free to pick another team.
