Thats pretty amazing, isnt it? Not just a tremendous body of work, but how long hes been doing it and how great he still is. So its pretty cool.Fans in the sellout crowd turned to look up at Scully when they gave him a standing ovation, and held signs as a Scully video welcomed fans on the scoreboard shortly before the first pitch at AT&T Park, where he has been riding in and out of the ballpark on Hall of Famer Willie Mays golf cart.

The sun has broken through the clouds and it is shining on the Giants for the moment.Scullys booth featured a special security detail all weekend, and Scully had several personal drivers to get around the city.

Hes just been a wild man swinging tthe bat this series.dddddddddddd Scully noted later in the broadcast that Pence is one of his favorite players because he tries so hard, but noted the right fielder is trying too hard right now.After the game, when told of Scullys remarks, Pence smiled and said, Hes pretty funny.A room-service fly ball to Angel Pagan -- thats how Scully called L.A. first baseman Adrian Gonzalezs fly to left in the second. Later, Scully described Pagans piercing eyes.Fans received a special poster with a photo of Scully in an orange sports coat that read:VIN SCULLY FINAL MLB BROADCAST.SEASONS 67 -- BROADCASTS 9,000+ -- BASEBALL FAN 80 YEARSLA VS SFOctober 2, 2016On back, it read, THANK YOU VINEven the out-of-town scoreboard beneath the right-field arcade paid tribute with THX in one slot and VIN below it.Giants CEO Larry Baer and Mays presented a plaque to Scully before the top of the fourth, and Scully apologized for coming back tardy to the broadcast.Theres a game going on, Scully said, Thank you, Larry.

Scully, Mays and Baer were shown on the videoboard, and the Giants announced a plaque will be hung in the visiting broadcast booth.Everybody involved seemed to appreciate the moment, being a tiny part of it or simply playing witness to the end of an era in baseball.Its hard to repeat what happened last Sunday at Dodger Stadium, but the finality now, Dodgers-Giants, I know there might be a tear in Vins eye, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. To be a part of what hes done in his last game, Ill give him a little salute at some point.Afterward, Roberts called it a huge honor to be part of Scullys finale and also a sad day, but its something that definitely should be rejoiced -- hes had an amazing career.Scully told his story once more of going to games at the old Polo Grounds, the tale of the little redheaded kid walking by a Chinese laundry, 8 3/4 leaving grammar school on his way home. ... I just fell in love with baseball.Mike Krukow and the other Giants broadcasters told Scully how much they loved him and led Take Me Out to the Ball Game in the booth next to Scullys booth during the seventh-inning stretch.In the sixth, amid all the reflection and fanfare, Scully reminded his audience he was supposed to be handling play-by-play.It has been a party, a retirement party, he said, and it has been marvelous.
