The Los Angeles Dodgers announced Vin Scully’s final broadcast on Sunday, will be simulcast in its entirety on SPECTRUM SportsNet LA, KTLA and AM 570 LA Sports Radio. First pitch against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park is scheduled for 12:05 p.m. PT.
“We wanted to make sure that all of Vin’s fans are able to share in his final Dodger broadcast of an incredible 67-year Hall of Fame career,” Dodgers executive vice president and chief marketing officer Lon Rosen said in a released statement.
“We want to thank our partner, IHEART Media, Charley Steiner, Rick Monday and Vin for making this possible for all our viewers and listeners.”
Typically, Dodgers broadcasters Charley Steiner and Rick Monday call games on the radio after the third inning.
“The Dodgers, IHEART Media and KLAC all came together and thought it would be only fitting that we simulcast Vin Scully’s final broadcast to the Dodgers Network on Sunday from San Francisco,” said Don Martin, Senior Vice-President, Sports, IHEART Media Los Angeles.
“We also want to thank Dodger broadcasters Charley Steiner and Rick Monday, who also felt strongly that our listeners should be able to hear Vin’s final call of his unbelievable 67-year career.”
Scully, who cut back on his travel schedule over the past few seasons, made the decision to conclude his Hall of Fame career in San Francisco with the Dodgers. It’s a fitting end as Scully traces his affinity for the Giants back to Oct. 2, 1936.
The Giants have a tribute planned for Scully and will also simulcast his call of the third inning on radio, KNBR 680, and on television, CSN Bay Area.
The Dodgers honored the 88-year-old with Vin Scully Weekend at Dodger Stadium during their series against the Colorado Rockies. It ended with a thrilling walk-off victory that clinched the National League West for the Dodgers.
Beginning Friday, SportsNet LA’s broadcast of each of the three games between the Dodgers and Giants will simulcast on KTLA. The local TV station also carried the final three games at Dodger Stadium over the weekend.
