Los Angeles Dodgers Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully has been hospitalized after a fall at his home.

Scully, 82, told LA club vice president of communications Josh Rawitch about his injury. According to Rawitch, the Dodgers legend got up from bed too quickly, fell and bumped his head. I'm sure Vin's recollection of the event will be much more poetic when he returns to the booth.

Rawitch later added that after remaining hospitalized overnight at West Hills Hospital and Medical Center for observations, Scully is expected to be at Camelback-Ranch-Glendale this weekend to call the Dodgers' Sunday exhibition game.

Scully has long been heard over the airwaves and seen as a fixture and face of the Dodgers organization. He is in every Hall of Fame imaginable for a broadcaster, has called 3 perfect games (Don Larsen '56, Sandy Koufax '65, and Dennis Martinez '91) as well as 18 no-hitters.

An unprecedented 27 times, Scully has been named the California Sportscaster of The Year. Began calling games in Brooklyn when gas cost 27 cents a gallon, called his first World Series action at 25, and in 1982 had his star placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I invariably look up to Vin Scully with such respect and amazement. The thing is, I couldn't tell you how many people do the same. We will be listening to and talking about Vin Scully as long as baseball is played.
