Dodgers Video: Vin Scully Appears On Face The Nation, Delivers Message To 8-Year-Old Self

Although now retired, former Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully has hardly been able to escape the spotlight. Scully was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live in his first public appearance after the regular season concluded, and soon after attended Game 5 of the National League Championship Series.

He was honored during the closing credits of ‘The Simpsons’ episode, and more recently Scully was among the 21 dignitaries to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama during a ceremony at the White House.

The nation’s highest civilian honor is bestowed on those who have made meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.

Scully’s political honor led to an interview with John Dickerson of ‘Face The Nation,’ which aired Sunday morning.

Scully shared a secret to calling a game, retold the story of first becoming captivated with the roar from the crowd at a sporting event, and sent a message to his younger self.

The iconic voice of the Dodgers turns 89 years old on Tuesday. Scully was nominated for the Sports Illustrated 2016 Sportsperson of the Year, which went to Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James for a second time.

He won an Esurance MLB Award for Best Call TV/Radio for Charlie Culberson’s walk-off home run that clinched a fourth straight National League West title for the Dodgers.
