Retired Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully was selected for inclusion in the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress, joining 24 other titles for their significance and sounds towards the culture and history to American society.
The 25 titles were each chosen because of a specific instance, with Scully being inducted for his last call at the Polo Grounds in a game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants. The contest was played Sept. 8, 1957.
At that point in time the Dodgers had already expressed their interest in relocating to Los Angeles, while the Giants were on track to move on to San Francisco.
