The Dodgers and Giants lined up along the baselines to watch a video tribute to Vin Scully. The Angels held a moment of silence before their game against the A's.
Fans all over L.A. remembered and celebrated the man. He soothed them to sleep as a child.
George Esteves said that it was like listening to his favorite song on the radio all the time.
"He painted such a picture, you didn't need a TV,'' said a fan.
Kenneth Walls of South Los Angeles is the grandson of a 90-year-old man.
Walls said that he has been a part of his life since he was a baby. Sharing this moment with the fans is important. It's better to be in a happy mood for a long life.
A tiny green-colored bird alighted on a Dodgers cap as it flew over the flowers.
A woman exclaimed, "Look, it's him!"
A collection of Dodgers souvenirs, including a blue-and-white Dodgers serape, baseball-shaped balloons and baseballs resting on top of the D and tucked in the V on the welcome sign at 1000 Vin Scully Ave., was brought to the attention of a Downey woman by her 8-

The Walk of Fame is located two doors down from Musso & Frank Grill and has a star on it. An arrangement of roses and other flowers were hung on an easel by a delivery man.
The lunchtime crowd was already in line at Philippe The Original a few miles from the stadium.
Daniel Mirgil said that he was almost in tears when he heard about the death of the man. The transistor radio was used to listen to him.
Los Angeles City Hall will be illuminated in blue. Game 1 of the World Series between the Dodgers and the A's was re-aired on the Disney Channel.
The self-effacing Scully would have appreciated the tribute but would have found it a little bit embarrassing.
He didn't want to be in front of the game.
There were moments of quiet around the majors.
It is the end of an era. He is going to live forever and his legacy will.
