LOS ANGELES - Driving to Dodger Stadium? From now on, take Vin Scully Avenue.
A road leading to the ballpark is being renamed in honour of the famed announcer, who is set to begin his 67th season with the Dodgers.
The 88-year-old Scully has said this is likely his last season behind the microphone. He started his career with the Dodgers when the team was based in Brooklyn.
The Los Angeles City Council on Friday voted unanimously to change the name of Elysian Park Avenue in recognition of Scully. New Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, star pitcher Clayton Kershaw and several other players were on hand in the council chambers for the vote.
