Vin Scully will receive the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the L.A. Sports Council during the 11th annual L.A. Sports Awards, February 25 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

“I can’t think of a person more deserving of this recognition,” Sports Council president David Simon said. “Even more remarkable than his longevity is the consistently high quality and integrity his announcing has represented over the years.”
