Vin Scully set to call final home opener of his 67-year career with Dodgers

LOS ANGELES — After opening the season in San Diego and San Francisco, the Dodgers are finally coming home.

They host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, when Japanese star Kenta Maeda makes his Dodger Stadium debut and Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully is behind the mic for the final home opener of his 67-year career.

"I'm really looking forward to it," he said Monday, his pale blue eyes twinkling. "I'll wear a clean shirt tomorrow, by gosh."

Many fans attending the sold out game will arrive via newly named Vin Scully Avenue, which dead-ends at the stadium's main gate.
