Legendary former Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully has been released from the hospital after suffering a fall Tuesday at his Los Angeles-area home.
Scully, 92, released a statement through the Dodgers on Saturday.
“My sincerest thanks to the LA County Firemen and women who come to the rescue and always seem to be there when we need and to the excellent administration, doctors and nurses of Los Robles Hospital,” Scully said through the team.
“I am so eternally grateful for their help and selfless service. I’m home resting comfortably with my wife and we are both eagerly awaiting the Time for Dodger Baseball!”
Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center is located in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
The seriousness of any injuries suffered by Scully hasn’t been divulged.
Scully, 92, began announcing Dodgers games in Brooklyn 70 years ago this month — April 18, 1950 — with Red Barber as his partner. Scully retired in 2016.
He was honored by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 1982 with the Ford C. Frick Award and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016.
