Vin Scully’s final broadcast gets the Hollywood treatment.

You figure that this game will get a bunch of screen time, when they get around to making the movie of Vin Scully’s life.

A crowd of Dodgers awaited Charlie Culberson at the plate. A wave of relievers trailed him as he rounded third base toward home, having launched the game-winning home run that delivered the Dodgers to a fourth consecutive division title Sunday in a 4-3 victory in 10 innings over the Colorado Rockies.

The hit ended the final game of Vin Scully’s career at Chavez Ravine in fitting fashion: A walk-off homer that sent the Dodgers (90-66) to the playoffs.

Walk-off home run for a game that went to extra innings? That’s pretty cool.  And the script pretty much writes itself.

One thought on “Vin Scully’s final broadcast gets the Hollywood treatment.”

  1. This is why so much baseball fiction and so many baseball movies are terrible. The real history of the game has so much weirdness and magic in it that nobody would believe it if you put it in a story. Baseball is bigger and stranger than fiction.
