Dodgers honor Jaime Jarrín during pregame ceremony
The Los Angeles Dodgers honored Jaime Jarrín before Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies, with the retiring broadcaster telling the fans at Dodger Stadium, "no matter what I say, it is not enough to say thank you for what I have in my heart."
The 86-year-old Jarrín has been calling Dodger games since 1959, the team's second season in Los Angeles after moving from Brooklyn. "Jaime was integral in introducing the Dodgers to Los Angeles and in giving a voice to the franchise's Latino stars," Kasten said. In the 2005 book "Voices of Summer," Jarrín was named baseball's all-time best Spanish-language broadcaster.
Jarrín never missed a broadcast from 1962-1984, calling nearly 4,000 consecutive games. The streak ended when Jarrín took charge of all the Spanish-language radio coverage and production for the 1984 Summer Olympics.
