Although Vin Scully plans to return for a 66th season as the voice of the Dodgers, he could reduce his workload next year by as much as 25%.

Scully said he has decided to skip road games, at least early in the season. In addition to the Dodgers' home games, the 86-year-old Scully currently travels with the team to Anaheim, Arizona, San Diego and San Francisco.

"I'm going to go to Anaheim for sure," Scully said Tuesday night." But I'm going to try to cut back on nights on the road. I really want to spend more time at home."

Wow.  I am amazed Vin Scully is still around.  The guy is a classic.  And a class act.

A bit of video including that last pitch. At his peak Koufax was one of the most dominant pitchers of all time.

And of course Scully is amazing. Both classy men, contrasted with some of the thugs these days.

A few weeks before that Koufax  perfect game at Dodger Stadium by Koufax, the Beatles performed at the Hollywood Bowl. On that trip, the Beatles privately met Elvis Presley, at his home on N. Perugia Way.
