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.

I go back to Scully's days with the Coliseum. Too bad that I have largely lost interest in professional sports, due to the (mostly) black thuggery.
