Broadcaster Vin Scully Ends Career From AT&T Park

BAY AREA, CA – Hall of Fame sports broadcaster Vin Scully called the last game of his 67-year broadcast career at San Francisco's AT&T Park Sunday as the Los Angeles Dodgers played the Giants.

Scully spent his entire career with the Dodgers, making him the broadcaster with the most consecutive years of service with any one team, Dodgers' officials said.

Two years ago, Scully won the baseball commissioner's Historic Achievement Award, which was created in 1998 to recognize contributions and accomplishments of historic significance in baseball.

"He is, to me and to many, the embodiment of the goodwill that our game inspires, and every day he reminds me why this game is forever the national pastime," outgoing commissioner Allan "Bud" Selig said in a
statement at the start of the 2016 season.

Scully is only the second non-player to receive the Historic Achievement Award, joining Rachel Robinson, whose husband Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball in 1947.

The Giants won Sunday's game, which means they will have a place in this year's playoffs. The Dodgers previously clinched a postseason spot.

Scully was honored by the Giants Sunday with a plaque that will have a permanent place in the broadcast booth at AT&T Park.

During the game, fans waved cards that said "Thank you Vin," and San Francisco Hall-of-Famer Willie Mays dropped by to chat with Scully, who fell in love with baseball as a Giants' fan.
