Is Scully still doing games solo, without an analyst? I know he has cut
back his workload in some way (does he only do home games or something like
that?)
From the Wiki:
In recent years, Scully cut back his work schedule to approximately 110
games a year. Usually, he will call the first three innings of a Dodgers
game via a radio-and-television simulcast, then the rest exclusively for
television.
Scully will normally not call a non-playoff game that takes place east of
Denver (a key exception was the 2007 season opening series, when the Dodgers
opened their season up in Milwaukee); in addition, Scully reportedly won't
attend or watch a baseball game that he isn't announcing. It wasn't until
the year 2004, when he and his boss, Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, attended a
game at Fenway Park, that Scully was at a baseball game simply as a
spectator.
During the 2007 season, Scully broadcast televised Dodger home games, road
games against National League West opponents (Arizona, Colorado, San Diego
and San Francisco) and the interleague games at the Angel Stadium in
Anaheim. As previously mentioned, he generally no longer goes on road trips
east of Denver. The only exceptions were the opening series in Milwaukee,
and a four game series against the Chicago Cubs. He also broadcasted a
three-game interleague series in Oakland in 2006, but was absent when the
Dodgers played a three-game series against the Texas Rangers in Arlington in
2009.
Scully also isn't normally scheduled to call a Dodgers game (for radio or
television) if ESPN is televising it for Sunday Night Baseball or Fox is
televising it on Saturday afternoons. Instead, the task goes to the likes of
Charley Steiner and Rick Monday.
