The press box at the Fordham University baseball field will be dedicated this spring as the Vin Scully Memorial Press Box after the Bronx, N.Y.-based school accepted a posthumous $1-million donation from the estate of the Dodgers broadcasting legend, who died in August at age 94.
Scully was a 1949 graduate of Fordham who played outfield for the school before beginning his 67-year career in the Dodgers’ booth. His estate also gave $1 million to Fordham Prep, his high school alma mater.
“Vin Scully was more than just a voice; he was an institution and a true master of his craft,” Fordham athletic director Ed Kull said in a school-issued release.
