"I'm so grateful to be home," he said. "And I also would like to thank all of you for your good wishes and prayers after I had my head-first sliding accident. In case you care, I was called out."
“Now I want to take a time out to salute others, the first responders out there who are helping all of us during this unusual time.”
Scully fell at his home last week and joked about headfirst sliding in a statement relayed by the team. He also thanked the Los Angeles County Fire Department for helping him once he returned home this weekend. The retired broadcaster left an uplifting message for fans to end the clip.
“Remember, sooner or later, you’re going to hear it,” he said. “It’ll be time for Dodger baseball.”
