The “VIN” stenciled in the grass was barely visible following a weekend of events M– some planned, some suspected divine intervention – honoring a Hall of Fame broadcaster’s 67- year career with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles franchise. Walking along the concourse on the box seat level, I texted a mes- sage: “You have to let go”, implying he still couldn’t handle the absence of Vin Scully. I later stopped by his office with a confession: “I took my photo at 7 a.m.” It seemed an eternity had passed since Friday morning when the grounds crew carefully painted the three letters on each side of the field near home plate. Actually, the “I” was shaped like a microphone, Scul- ly’s vehicle to call more than 9,000 Dodger games since 1950. The com- Mbination of Scully’s longevity and quality of work made the notion of his eventual departure always seem like something for another genera- tion to deal with. Scully gave a year’s notice for the world to deal with his retire- ment. Team officials and fans scur- ried to plan the best ways to honor him during the 2016 season, includ- ing renaming the ballpark’s address “1000 Vin Scully Avenue.” He agreed to step on the field for two occasions. The first was an Opening Day cele- bration on April 12 in which former Dodger greats lined up and passed a baseball to Scully for the ceremonial first pitch. Looming in the distance was a September “Vin Scully Day” in which the New York native and Fordham University graduate would make a speech to the fans. As the season progressed, the demand for Scully’s attention turned the Shakespearean performer, used to working alone on stage, into a department store Santa Claus as ev- VIN SCULLY AT THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME IN 1982 WITH (CLOCKWISE FROM RIGHT) DUKE eryone wanted to line up outside his SNIDER, ROY CAMPANELLA AND SANDY KOUFAX.
