MLB Network to air Vin Scully's final game at Dodger Stadium
As things currently stand, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be playing baseball in October. The club hasn’t technically clinched a playoff spot just yet, but the team holds a five game lead in the National League West with just 11 games left to play. While making the playoffs is significant, the club will enter October without one of its most legendary icons.
As every baseball fan already knows, Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully is in his final season as the team’s announcer. After 67 seasons with the organization, Scully will retire from the booth after the 2016 season.

That time is nearly upon us. With just a few weeks left in the regular season, Scully is quickly approaching his final game as a broadcaster. As part of the celebration of his exceptional career, MLB Network wants to make sure fans can enjoy Scully one more time before he enters retirement.
The network will air Scully’s final game at Dodgers Stadium. The contest, which takes place Sunday, Sept. 25 at 4 p.m. ET, will be simulcast on MLB Network. The Dodgers will take on the Colorado Rockies.
Due to blackout restrictions, the network cannot air the game in the Rockies’ and Dodgers’ home television territories. Local fans will still be able to enjoy the game through the usual channels, though.
With Scully’s career winding down, the broadcast presents fans with the opportunity to celebrate his legendary career one final time. Fans have no doubt read thousands of words on Scully’s impact and legacy in the game this season. This broadcast presents those who don’t usually get to experience Scully in the booth an opportunity to hear him one more time.
