After nearly 10,000 baseball commentaries, 25 World Series, 18 no-hitters and three perfect games, Vin Scully is finally hanging up the microphone. For 67 years, the 88-year-old broadcaster known affectionately as the "Voice of Summer" has captivated generations of fans as the play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, a job that began when the iconic franchise was based on the opposite side of the country in Brooklyn. Whether it was Don Larsen's perfect game for the New York Yankees in the 1956 World Series or Hank Aaron's record-breaking 715th home run to surpass Babe Ruth in 1974, Scully's evocative voice was there.
