In 1950, Scully joined the Brooklyn Dodgers radio and television booths before taking over as their head announcer after the 1953 World Series.

However, it does prevent any possible remorse.
Los Angeles’ division lead was trimmed to five games over second-place San Francisco with 11 to play.
On Sunday, Scully will call his final home game from his perch in the press box at Dodger Stadium, where he has been ever-present since the team moved into the venue in 1962. Given that the Giants are now in a dramatic three-way race for the two NL Wild Card spots, the early departure of Cueto was obviously an unwelcome development.
The Dodgers went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber, left, delivers in the first inning of a baseball game against the Detroit Tigers, Friday, Sept. 16, 2016, in Cleveland. “There was a lot of traffic tonight”, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. This time, Hill made it through five innings. “There were some balls hit hard with guys on base and just at guys”.
Nunez scored the Giants first run of the game when he hit a fly ball to deep left field with one out in the top of the fifth that upon first glance appeared to hit the top of the wall and bounce back into the field of play.
Marlins ace Jose Fernandez was dominant against the Nationals, striking out 12 while scattering only three hits over eight scoreless innings. “It’s been such a insane season, with time off”. “And I don’t think I’m going to stress anything about me”. The occasion rises to you.

But there was an occasion in this game where Hill did rise, and it probably got the biggest noise from the crowd of 53,621. With two out, Joe Panik walked and the bases were loaded. Here, Hill used his usual curveball attack and then froze Belt with a 90 miles per hour, 1-and-2 fastball on the outside corner. This time he left the ground twice. “That will be exactly 80 years to the minute from when I first fell in love with the game”. “I don’t want people to think ‘This is Vin’s last whatever.’ I just want them to enjoy the Giants and the Dodgers”.
“All year long they looked to him [Kirk Gibson] to light the fire, and all year long he answered the demands”. I love being out there. I’ll be saying goodbye to baseball in general when I leave in San Francisco and I couldn’t possibly think ‘and then I’m going to say goodbye from, let’s just say Washington or NY, doing radio in the playoffs.’ It just didn’t work right for me.

Roberts was asked if this had a playoff feel to it, particularly since the game ended past a schoolchild’s bedtime.
