It's about time...
Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully, inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1982, will be inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame on Tuesday at the organization's annual convention in Las Vegas, with a reception in his honor at the Las Vegas Hilton.

In 2001, the press box at Dodger Stadium was named in his honor. In addition to his baseball work, Scully has called play-by-play for the NFL and the PGA Tour.

Previous inductees to the NAB Radio Hall of Fame include Mel Allen, Gene Autry, Red Barber, Jack Buck, George Burns, Harry Caray, Bing Crosby, Herbert Hoover, Bob Hope, Casey Kasem, Larry King, Rush Limbaugh, Edward Murrow, Ronald Reagan and Orson Welles.
