The Los Angeles Dodgers, who’ve already sounded quite different over the airwaves since Vin Scully’s retirement at the end of the 2016 season, are unfortunately poised to lose another legendary voice who has defined generations of baseball in the region.
Jaime Jarrín, the Spanish-language icon who has been broadcasting for the Dodgers since 1959, one year after their arrival in Hollywood, has announced he plans to retire at the end of the 2022 season.
Jarrín already possesses every accolade possible, from the Baseball Hall of Fame’s 1998 Ford C. Frick Award to a retired microphone at Dodger Stadium, resulting from a ceremony that took place four years before he even retired.
