With all the villains hanging around the game lately, it's refreshing when one of baseball's true good guys says he's sticking around awhile longer. Longtime Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully announced he will be returning next season.
It will mark Scully’s 65th year with the Dodgers.
Scully told the Los Angeles Times,
Scully, who started with the Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn in 1950, has voiced many memorable baseball moments. Among his calls were Don Larsen's perfect game in the '56 World Series, Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's record and Kirk Gibson's improbable walkoff home run in the 1988 World Series.

As a baseball man, and someone who has always loved the game, the situation and the conditions are perfect."
