Dodgers News: Vin Scully Receiving Icon Award At 2017 ESPYS

Retired Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully will receive the Icon Award on Wednesday night at the 2017 ESPYS, ESPN announced. Actor Bryan Cranston of “Breaking Bad” will present the award to the 89-year-old.

ESPN gives the Icon Award to “individuals whose careers have left a lasting impression” in sports. It was first presented to retired New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter in 2015.

Retired Los Angeles Lakers guard and five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant, former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, and retired Olympic gold medalist Amy Wambach each received the Icon Award last year.

Scully officially retired in 2016, after 67 seasons spent in the booth.
