Dodgers News: Vin Scully Will Receive Key to the City of Los Angeles

On Friday, the Dodgers will host a ceremony before the game honoring Vin Scully for his 67 years of service to Dodger baseball. What it will consist of is still unclear, though names like Sandy Koufax and Mayor Eric Garcetti, among others, are said to make an appearance.

Many assumed that Mayor Eric Garcetti would simply be making a speech, celebrating Vin Scully’s contribution to the City of Los Angeles; however, LAMayor.org released on Friday that our beloved Vin will be receiving the Key to the City of Los Angeles! Check out what the beautiful plaque looks like here!

Here is what Mayor Eric Garcetti had to say about Vin Scully and what he means to Los Angeles:

Vin Scully is the very definition of an L.A. icon, and he will forever have the gratitude of the city whose story he helped to write.

This won’t be the first Los Angeles to be bestowed on Vin Scully. Earlier this year, he received his own street named after him! There’s something special about seeing the “Welcome to Dodger Stadium” sign and Vin Scully Avenue being directly under it.
