| Vin Scully |
The LA Dodgers are expected to announce Friday that Vin Scully,
the finest broadcaster in baseball history, will return for a record 65th
season in 2014, according to the LA Times.
Scully is 85.
The Dodgers never would kick him out of the broadcast booth,
but he respects his audience too much to mumble around a microphone the way
Willie Mays stumbled around center field for the New York Mets, in a sad close
to a brilliant career.
So Scully takes it year to year. This year, he has been
invigorated by the best reality show in town, the richest-to-worst-to-first
Dodgers. Next year? Sign him up.
"It has been such an exciting, enjoyable, wonderful
season — the big crowds in the ballpark, everybody is talking about the
ballclub, and I really respect, admire and love the management — so everything
just fell into place," Scully said.
"I really still enjoy it immensely. My health is good,
thank God. So why not? And my wife said, 'Why not?' as well.
