Chris West grew up in Southern California in the 1960s a sports nut with a singular idol: Vin Scully.
Scully, the longtime voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, might be best known as the greatest broadcaster in American sports, but one of his greatest trait is his longevity. Scully will wrap up his broadcasting career in a little more than two weeks after logging his 67th season on the job, an incredible figure.
Meanwhile, West on Friday will be honored as the Nevada Wolf Pack’s Silver and Blue Service Award recipient on Friday alongside the school’s latest athletic Hall of Fame class.
