Vin Scully honored with video tribute, banner at Dodger Stadium
The Los Angeles Dodgers will honor Vin Scully at their first home game since the passing of the legendary broadcaster.
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Dodgers hosted their first home game since legendary broadcaster Vin Scully died Tuesday night, and the pre-ceremony was one to remember.
Manager Dave Roberts ended a ceremony honored Scully by running the crowd through a chorus of Scully's famous line, "It's time for Dodgers baseball."
Behind a beautiful blue sky, there was a moment of silence 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."
Earlier in the day, fans paid their respects at several locations around Dodger Stadium to commemorate Scully.
They were able to visit the Vin Scully press box, which was named after the icon in 2001.
The "I Miss You" banner from his last game was also on display.
Meanwhile, a new tribute for Scully was added to the display case in the lobby.

Miniature versions of Scully's microphone from the Dogders' Ring of Honor were placed on any Scully display at the stadium.
Fans gave a standing ovation when the video concluded with a picture of Scully waving from the field with a rainbow behind him.
The umpires gathered at home plate and looked up to the broadcast booth and tipped their caps in honor of Scully. Dodger starter Tony Gonsolin did the same from the mound.
