Watch: Scully kicks off Game 5, fires up Dodgers crowd

It just wouldn't be a big game at Dodger Stadium without Vin Scully.

Although he retired earlier this month after 67 years calling Los Angeles Dodgers games, Scully was in the house for Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs as a spectator. After being introduced to the surprised and delighted crowd by Dodger greats Eric Karros and Steve Garvey, Scully bellowed his trademark introduction - "It's time for Dodger baseball!" - from a private box. Chavez Ravine rocked and saluted Scully, who waved to the crowd before settling in to watch Kenta Maeda deliver the first pitch.

The 88-year-old was at the microphone for all six of the Dodgers' World Series championships, dating back to the team's days in Brooklyn.
