This just happening in the last half-hour, the Hall of Fame Voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Vin Scully, announced during the Colorado Rockies-Dodgers game that he will indeed return for his record 63rd season with the team. Just this week, the Dodgers asked season ticket holders to evaluate how Scully was doing as the voice of the team which is quite ridiculous because obviously, he still maintains his fastball even at age 83.
Right after he announced his return for the 2012 season, the Dodgers official Twitter account tweeted the good news.

Vin Scully, the greatest broadcaster in sports history, just announced on air that he’ll be behind the mic next year for his 63rd season!
Glad to see Vin returning in 2012. He’s truly an American treasure.
