The icon is remembered with a video tribute, a new banner hanging below the broadcast booth and Manager Dave Roberts leading the crowd through a chorus of “It’s time for Dodgers baseball.”
LOS ANGELES — Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ended a pregame ceremony honoring broadcaster Vin Scully by running the crowd through a chorus of Scully’s famous line, “It’s time for Dodgers baseball.”Behind a beautiful blue sky, there was a moment of silence at Dodger Stadium on Friday for the lovable Scully, followed by a video narrated by Dodgers broadcaster Charley Steiner and accompanied by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole’s memorable version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
“He’s the connection, the fabric from the fans to the organization,” Roberts told the crowd. “Players change; teams are different. But he was the one constant. And so every night, when you turn on the game, hearing his voice was consistent. And he was the conduit for many to share stories, paint pictures and call a ballgame.”“Vin, as he’s looking down on us right now, well, he hated the spotlight on him,” Roberts said.
