The announcement was made on the Dodgers videoboard by Jimmy Kimmel, with the aid of cue cards, during the Dodgers-Cubs game at Dodger Stadium after the top of the second inning.
"Vin is a national treasure and the Dodgers couldn't be happier to have him back at the microphone in 2016," said Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten. "Vin makes every broadcast special and generation after generation of Dodger fans have been blessed to be able to listen to him create his poetic magic since 1950. We look forward to adding many new chapters to that legacy in 2016.
