Throughout his career, Scully has hosted talk shows, called countless sporting events, earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and served as Grand Marshal for the Rose Parade. Most of all, Scully has been a Los Angeles institution for a half-century, connecting generations with his passion for baseball, his soft velvet voice, and his innate gift for vivid storytelling.
