'It's time for Dodgers baseball': late broadcasting legend Vin Scully honoured in pre-game ceremony

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ended a pregame ceremony honouring broadcaster Vin Scully by running the crowd through a chorus of Scully's famous line, "It's time for Dodgers baseball."

Scully, who called Dodgers games for 67 years and retired in 2016, died on Tuesday at age 94.

Behind a beautiful blue sky, there was a moment of silence at Dodger Stadium on Friday for the lovable Scully, followed by a video narrated by Dodgers broadcaster Charley Steiner and accompanied by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole's memorable version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

Roberts said Scully wouldn't have liked all the attention.

"Vin, as he's looking down on us right now, well, he hated the spotlight on him," Roberts said. "Well, this is going to be a very uncomfortable moment right now but he deserves it. Vin was a man of character and integrity and class, a true gentleman. He wasn't just a Dodger. He loved the game of baseball that we all love and care about."
