A Los Angeles legend left us on Tuesday night. Vin Scully, the iconic voice of the Dodgers, passed away at the age of 94. He was the announcer of the Dodgers for 67 years before retiring in 2016.
In addition to calling Dodgers games for nearly seven decades, he was also in the booth for NFL games for several years. He called NFL games for CBS Sports in the 1970s and 1980s, with his most famous call coming in the 1981 NFC Championship Game when Dwight Clark made “The Catch” against the Dallas Cowboys, propelling the San Francisco 49ers to victory.
The Rams shared the following tweet after learning of Scully’s passing, sending their condolences to the Scully family.
