Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles), in his capacity as Acting Governor, issued a proclamation today declaring July 8, 2016 as "Vin Scully Day" in the State of California to honor the legendary Los Angeles Dodgers announcer.
The Acting Governor praised Scully for "knowing when to let the roar of the crowd tell the story" as Scully has done so many times from Hank Aaron's historic home run to pass Babe Ruth and after Dodger Kirk Gibson hit a walk-off home run against the Athletics in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.
