"It would be fitting to have Vin Scully come back to call the game in Los Angeles for one last series," a fan wrote in one of the petitions, which was posted on gopetition.com.

The gopetition.com petition was launched on Friday and had 225 signatures by 1:15 p.m. Another petition, which was posted on thepetitionsite.com, had 120 supporters.



After Thursday's game, Scully's daughter tweeted a family photo, celebrating the Dodgers' win to clinch a spot in the World Series.

As of now, however, it appears Scully does not have plans to end his retirement any time soon.

The Dodgers public relations team released a statement saying the legendary announcer will not return to call any World Series games, but he will be in attendance.
