The Los Angeles Dodgers begin their final homestand of the 2016 season on Monday night, and with that comes the countdown to Vin Scully’s Hall of Fame career. Scully is set to call 10 of the remaining 13 games.
He’ll conclude his 67th season with the Dodgers at AT&T Park on Sunday, Oct. 2. The date is a memorable one as Oct. 2, 1936 resonates for when Scully first became enamored with the New York Giants and the Polo Grounds.
But before reaching the finish line, Scully has seven home games on the docket, and though he wishes otherwise, the days ahead are filled with multiple honors.
