This Day In Dodgers History: Portion Of Elysian Park Renamed To Vin Scully Avenue

On April 11, 2016, the Los Angeles Dodgers held a ceremony to officially rename a portion of Elysian Park Avenue to Vin Scully Ave., in honor of the legendary broadcaster. It changed the address at Dodger Stadium to 1000 Vin Scully Avenue.

The honor was finalized two months after the L.A. City Council unanimously passed a motion to rename the portion of Elysian Park Ave. that runs from Sunset Boulevard to Dodger Stadium Way.

L.A. City Councilmember Gilbert Cedillo, who filed the motion, Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, and Dodgers Spanish-language broadcasters Jorge Jarrín and Pepe Yñiguez were among those to attend the ceremony.
