Remembering Vin Scully: FOX 11 Special Report
Dodger icon Vin Scully has died at 94. For more than 60 years, he brought generations of Angelenos and the sports world together with the five simple words: "It's time for Dodger baseball!"
In April 2016, a portion of Elysian Park Avenue was renamed and dedicated to Scully changing the Dodger Stadium address to 1000 Vin Scully Avenue. That same year, he was inducted into the Dodger Stadium Ring of Honor and received a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
