When Vin Scully announced his intention to retire after last season it set in motion plans for the Los Angeles Dodgers to honor their legendary broadcaster throughout the year. That began prior to Opening Day of 2016, with the renaming of a portion of Elysian Park Avenue being renamed to Vin Scully Avenue.
Scully, appreciative and humbled by the gesture, asked that he not be the focal point of the 2016 season. Although business did carry on for the Dodgers, Scully’s forthcoming retirement remained on the minds of many.
