Los Angeles to rename road to Dodger Stadium Vin Scully Avenue

The voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers is likely to have a street named after him Friday when the city council votes on the proposal.

Iconic broadcaster Vin Scully is preparing for his final season calling the team’s games this year before retiring. He is 88 and entering his 67th year in broadcasting. City councilman Gil Cedillo proposed renaming Elysian Park Avenue, the road that leads to Dodger Stadium, ‘Vin Scully Avenue.’

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Times columnist Bill Plaschke called out the Dodgers ownership and management team Friday saying the franchise should change its stance on the current television contract that prevents many fans in the Los Angeles area from seeing games and experiencing Scully’s poetic calls.

Plaschke wants the team to find a way to allow fans to be a part of Scully’s final season whether they have DirecTV or Time Warner Cable.
