Vin Scully’s final game will be in SF: ‘That really brings it full circle’

Vin Scully said Tuesday he won’t broadcast the Dodgers in the postseason, meaning the final broadcast of Scully’s celebrated career will be Oct. 2 in San Francisco.

“That really brings it full circle,” Giants broadcaster Jon Miller said before Tuesday night’s game at AT&T Park.

Scully, 88, grew up in New York a Giants fan and began following them as a child when walking home from school and noticing on a storefront the score of a game that day: Yankees 18, Giants 4.

It was Game 2 of the World Series. Oct. 2, 1936.

Scully recalled the moment in a 2014 Chronicle interview: “As a little kid, I said, ‘Oh, those poor Giants.’ That’s how I became a Giants fan, as God is my judge.”
