HALL OF FAME BROADCASTER SCULLY TO RETURN NEXT YEAR

Eighty-two-year-old Dodgers announcer Vin Scully, who, unlike most of the recent crop of sports broadcasters, has never lost sight of the fact that his principal function behind the microphone is to keep listeners entertained, will be doing so again next year. After previously announcing that this would be his last season in the Dodgers’ broadcasting booth, Scully said Sunday, “Baseball, I love it with my heart and soul. And I found, deep in the recesses of my mind, I didn’t want to sever the relationship.” He has been describing Dodgers games since 1950.
