Since 1950 there have been three constants in the world of major league baseball, the Cub’s inability to win a World Series, Yankees fans bragging about their abhorrent amount of championships, and Vin Scully calling Dodger games.

One of those constants however will soon be gone. Vin Scully has announced that 2016 will be the final year that he will broadcast Dodger baseball.

Scully has been with the Dodgers for 67 seasons, the longest tenure of any broadcaster with a single team in sports history. He is also widely considered the greatest broadcaster of all time, with both USA Today and the American Sportscasters Association officially naming him the greatest broadcaster of all time, edging out such legends as Howard Cosell, Mel Allen and Red Barber.

Scully’s final regular season game will be October 2nd, he has stated that he will also be open to doing playoffs on the radio if the Dodgers make it that far, although with his usual humility Scully said “When you get to the playoffs, you are allowed to do radio. We can’t do any television, and I always feel funny when we do have the playoffs because Rick [Monday] and Charley [Steiner] do such a great job all year on radio, and I feel that it’s unfair that I go in and do six of the nine innings” (ESPN).

The Dodgers recently have hired the former voice of the Montgomery Biscuits (A minor league affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays), Charlie Davis, it is suspected that Davis will be the replacement for Scully.

Scully who is 88 although sad about stepping away from the game is comfortable with his decision to retire “I really can’t see that I would come back,” Scully said. “Sooner or later, you have to be realistic. I’ve done it for a long, long time. I’ve done reasonably well at it. But I don’t want to stay on any longer than I feel I should” (CBS).
