A video was shown on the giant left-field screen in the middle of the second inning at the July 29 Dodgers-Braves game at Dodger Stadium. Hyun-Jin Ryu gave a message in Korean and the Korean fans applauded. Then Yasiel Puig said the same thing in Spanish and the Hispanic fans applauded. When Justin Turner gave the message in English, everybody in the stands stood and applauded. The message was that Vin Scully will be returning to the broadcast booth in 2015. Scully, who joined Red Barber and Connie Desmond in the Brooklyn Dodgers broadcast booth in 1950 and has remained with the team ever since, said, "It is just too hard to say goodbye. Naturally there will come a time when I will have to say goodbye but I've soul-searched and this is not the time." Scully calls all home games for television. The first three innings of each game are also simulcast on KLAC. Since 2012, Scully has called only those road games which take place in California and Arizona. Next season will be his 66th year with the Dodgers. Yay!
