“Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good evening to you.”
Vin Scully was home Wednesday, and much to his chagrin found himself in the spotlight at Dodger Stadium. The Hall-of-Fame broadcaster became the 11th member of the Dodgers Ring of Honor, which also includes eight former players and two of the club’s previous managers.
To the fans in attendance and thousands watching at home, the plaque of a microphone and Scully’s name that’s now in place on the club level down the left-field line was long overdue. But to someone as modest as Scully, the recognition is more than he deserves.
