What is next for Vin Scully?:

Last July, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced that Vin Scully, their legendary broadcaster, would return in 2015 for his 66th season calling the team’s games. The 87 year-old Scully, who has called thousands of Dodger games in his career, has had an eventful offseason including a near-tragedy averted at Costco back in December. But as we look ahead to 2015, what will we get from the Hall of Fame broadcaster?

From a logistical perspective, we can expect him to call virtually every home game at Dodger Stadium, but only about 29 road games next season. In September, he told the L.A. Times that he was “going to try to cut back on nights on the road” in 2015, citing only Arizona, San Diego, San Francisco and Anaheim as places he would definitely travel to with the team. The Dodgers play nine games in San Diego, nine in San Francisco, nine in Arizona, and two in Anaheim.
