LOS ANGELES (AP) " Vin Scully is keeping busy in retirement, joking with Jimmy Kimmel that he's been to the hardware store since ending his 67-year Hall of Fame broadcasting career with the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I'm lecturing at the sixth-grade school at Saint Mel's," Scully said, referring to the Catholic elementary school in Woodland Hills where his grandson and granddaughter attend. Scully discussed his early days broadcasting at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum after the Dodgers moved West from Brooklyn for the 1958 season. Fans toted transistor radios to follow the action described by Scully because they sat too far away from the field in the vast stadium. After the team moved to Dodger Stadium, fans continued to bring radios to hear Scully.
