LOS ANGELES – The voice of summer in Los Angeles plans to return next year.Vin Scully will be back for a record 67th season in the broadcast booth for the Dodgers, who revealed the news Friday night in the second inning of their game against the Chicago Cubs.Magic Johnson, a co-owner of the team, appeared on the Dodger Stadium video board to tell the crowd that Jimmy Kimmel had a major announcement.Late-night TV host Kimmel appeared and without a sound used cue cards to explain Scully would return for another season "at least," read one of the cards.His last card read: "God bless us everyone."The 87-year-old Scully stood up and waved from his booth as the crowd cheered.The Hall of Fame announcer's consecutive years of service make him the longest-tenured broadcaster with one team in sports history.
