Vin Scully Avenue proposal brings Dodgers past and present to LA City Council meeting

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles City Council will consider today a proposal to rename a street near Dodger Stadium after Vin Scully, who has been announcing Dodger games for 66 years.

The council will decide whether to begin the process of renaming Elysian Park Avenue between Sunset Boulevard and Stadium Way “Vin Scully Avenue.”

Former Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda, former Dodger stars including Steve Garvey, Orel Hershiser, Maury Wills and Eric Karros, new Dodger manager Dave Roberts and 17 active players, including pitcher Clayton Kershaw and outfielder Yasiel Puig, are expected to attend the council meeting to support the motion, which was introduced by Councilman Gil Cedillo.
