At some point this week, Jaime Jarrin, the Spanish-language voice of the Dodgers since 1959, will summon the strength to make one of the most difficult calls of his life.
Jarrin, 85, will punch the name of Vin Scully into his phone, and when that familiar, melodic voice answers, Jarrin will attempt to console the legendary Dodgers broadcaster whose wife, Sandra Scully, died Sunday.
Jarrin can only hope to provide the same comfort that Scully, now 93, did two years ago, when Jarrin’s wife, Blanca, died just before the 2019 season.
