Vin said the following at the conclusion of his last broadcast: “May God grant you for every storm, and for every rainbow; for each tear, a smile, for every care, and for every trial, a promise. There is a friend for everyone, no matter how difficult, to help you through it all. Although we have known each other for many years, I am certain that I will miss you and your company more than words can express. But, you know what, there will be a new day, and, eventually, a new year, and when the upcoming winter gives way to spring, ooh, rest assured, once again, it will be time for Dodger baseball. Vin Scully wishes you a happy afternoon .”
