One of his most famous NFL calls was that of Dwight Clark's touchdown catch in the NFC Championship Game on January 10 1982 (which Scully called with Stram as his final NFL telecast for CBS) that put the San Francisco 49ers into Super Bowl XVI. The surname of the "Dana Scully" character on the television show The X-Files is an homage to Scully as the show's creator Chris Carter is a Dodgers fan. In the event the Dodgers are in post-season play Scully calls the first three and last three innings of the radio broadcast alone; with Charley Steiner and Rick Monday handling the middle innings.

Vincent Edward "Vin" Scully (born November 29 1927) is an American sportscaster best known as the play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team since before the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1957. Scully currently calls most Dodger home games (and selected road games) on Prime Ticket KCAL television and KLAC radio. ".
