Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully sets world record for longevity image

Vin Scully has done it all in his 66 years as a Dodgers broadcaster. Now the Hall of Famer can add record holder to his resume.

Scully set a Guinness World Record for the longest career as a sports broadcaster for a single team. Scully has been with the Dodgers franchise since 1950 and has called 25 World Series, 19 no-hitters and three perfect games.

The Dodgers celebrated Scully's accomplishment with a longstanding baseball tradition — bobbleheads. 

The first 40,000 fans at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday received a miniature Scully, as did the legend himself, who may keep the bobblehead with him when he begins his 67th and final season behind the mic  in 2016 .

Scully received the Ford C. Frick Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982.
