Baseball play-by-play legend Vin Scully said today in an interview he will be back for the 2010 season to announce Los Angeles Dodgers game.
The 81-year-old has been with the team since 1950.
No surprise that he still loves what he does, which is spin a wonderful story during a game. And he calls the game by himself.
I've enjoyed listening to him for the past four years since I buy the MLB Extra Inning package on my cable system.
Actually I would love to hear him provide play-by-play of someone mowing the lawn or even painting a room. He makes it seem effortless.
Tuesday also marked the 36th wedding anniversary for Scully and his wife, Sandy.
It is his wife who Scully said will help make a decision if he continues after the 2010 season.
He has a wonderful job but does not like the fact that Sandy is at home while he is at work. His children and grandchildren also will factor into the retirement equation.
The soft-spoken Scully enjoys the time he spends in the off season with his family.
For several years he has cut back his travel during the season. He only broadcasts road games from Denver and points west.
At some time, Scully will have to retire. When it happens, a legend will leave the game.
I hope it will be in the World Series. Because the Fall Classic needs a classic like Scully one more time.
