Lakers Pay Tribute To Vin Scully Before The Home Opener

Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully, whose dulcet tones provided the soundtrack of summer while entertaining and informing Dodgers fans in Brooklyn and Los Angeles for 67 years died at the age of 94 in August.

Scully died at his home in the Hidden Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, the team announced after being informed by family members.

Last night, the Lakers took on the Los Angeles Clippers for the home opener and a special tribute happened right before the game.

As the longest tenured broadcaster with a single team in pro sports history, Scully saw it all and called it all. He began in the 1950s era of Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson, on to the 1960s with Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax, into the 1970s with Steve Garvey and Don Sutton, and through the 1980s with Orel Hershiser and Fernando Valenzuela.
