Luckily for us in NorCal, Vinnie's last games will be in San Francisco. Our announcers have been telling Scully stories all year (and right now a lot, as the Giants are breaking our hearts in Los Angeles now). I'm sure they will be doing some special things for his last game (Scully grew up a Giants fan).
Like every other boy that grew up in LA, Vinnie's voice soothed me to sleep almost every summer night. Even though I grew up hating the Dodgers, I loved him, and how gracious, rational, closely observed and articulate he was. But, I can't believe they have not figured it how to get that Dodger channel thing worked out yet. And while this is a nice thing to do for the fans in LA, the stated reason that it will convince locals to demand SportsNet seems ridiculous; Scully's last years would have been the best possible inducement for anyone who has not already been pressuring for it; his retirement is more a reason to forget about it.
