Dodgers honor Vin Scully at final homestand

The Dodgers have announced their plans to celebrate broadcaster Vin Scully over their final homestand of the season this weekend.

A celebration entitled “Vin Scully Weekend” to honor the Ford C. Frick Award winner and “Voice of the Dodgers” will include special tributes during the team’s four-game series against the visiting Colorado Rockies. The festivities will begin Friday with “Vin Scully Appreciation Day,” as the first 50,000 fans in attendance will receive a letter of appreciation written by the broadcaster himself.

There will also be a pregame ceremony on the field honoring Scully, who is winding down his 67th consecutive season as broadcaster for the Dodgers. The ceremony, hosted by fellow Dodgers broadcaster Charley Steiner, will feature a video tribute by Bob Costas, as well as a star-studded lineup of special guests including Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Costner, fellow Frick Award winner Jaime Jarrín, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, Dodgers chairman Mark Walter and Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax.
