English
Vin Scully, who has broadcast Dodgers games since 1950, does play-by-play during Dodgers' locally televised home games, road games against National League West opponents, and road games against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.[2] Unlike most baseball broadcasters, Scully prefers to announce solo. Scully only calls the first three innings on radio (simulcast with Dodgers' television broadcasts); after the first three innings, the radio broadcasts are handled by Charley Steiner on play-by-play and Rick Monday with color commentary while Scully continues on television. When Scully is unavailable or the game is only being nationally televised, Steiner and Monday handle the entire game broadcast.
