Jaime Jarrín, the longest-tenured broadcaster in Major League Baseball, will retire after the 2022 season, his 64th with the Dodgers, the organization announced Tuesday.
The 85-year-old Jarrín started calling Dodgers in Spanish in 1959, the franchise’s second year in Los Angeles. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1998 as the Ford C. Frick Award Winner.
“I’m grateful to the Dodgers — the best organization in baseball — for giving me the opportunity to do what I love most for 64 years,” Jarrín said in a statement issued by the team. “As much as I’ll miss my baseball family at Dodger Stadium and across the country, I’m looking forward to spending more time with my sons Jorge and Mauricio and my grandchildren and nurturing my love of travel.
