Listen to Vin Scully's last call at Dodger Stadium

In a town filled with recognizable faces, one voice stands out from all the rest.

Vin Scully, the famed Los Angeles Dodgers announcer whose dulcet tones are known throughout Southern California, called his last game at Dodger Stadium on Sunday. The 88-year-old has spent 67 seasons with the Dodgers, following the team to L.A. from Brooklyn. The day was all about Scully, with players tipping their caps to him before their first at-bat, and his grandchildren surprising him in the booth.

During the seventh inning, a recording of Scully singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" played, and his rendition of "Wind Beneath My Wings" was heard at the end. Addressing the crowd, Scully said: "You have kept me young at heart. Believe me when I tell you, I've needed you far more than you needed me." The game ended on a high note, with a walk-off homer in the 10th inning by Charlie Culberson giving the Dodgers a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies and their fourth consecutive division title. "Would you believe that run?" Scully asked. "Leave it to the Dodgers." Catherine Garcia
