Even if the Dodgers make the playoffs, Scully, who has been the Dodgers announcer since 1950, will finish his career Oct. 2 — fittingly in a series against the Giants, whose rivalry with the Dodgers has extended the entirety of Scully’s career.
“Otherwise, I’d be saying good-bye like in grand opera, where you say good-bye 12 different times,” Scully told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday . “I’m going to say good-bye at Dodger Stadium the last game with Colorado (Sept. 25). I will say good-bye in San Francisco. And then that will be it.”

The Sept. 24 game against the Rockies is scheduled to be “Vin Scully Appreciation Day” at Dodger Stadium with a pregame ceremony honoring Scully, 88.
The Dodgers, who currently hold a four-game lead over the Giants in the NL West, hope to send Scully off with a fourth consecutive division title.
