LOS ANGELES -- Vin Scully, one of baseballs most beloved broadcasters, is sticking around for another year with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 84-year-old Hall of Famer will return for a record 64th season in 2013. He began his professional baseball broadcasting career in 1950 with the Brooklyn Dodgers, and has called three perfect games, 25 no-hitters, 25 World Series and 12 All-Star games. Scully said he is feeling energized after the Guggenheim Baseball Management group bought the team from Frank McCourt this spring for $2 billion. "I was so impressed by the new ownership," Scully said Sunday morning in the Dodger Stadium press box. "I was here for the press conference, and I heard some big talk. I wondered whether they would actually do what they said they would do. How fast will they move? How high will they try to take the team? Well, they have done it 10 times over. And what theyve done is revitalized the city, revitalized the team, the fans -- and myself." General manager Ned Colletti has acquired nine new players since the week before the July 31 trading deadline. The biggest trade was completed on Saturday, with Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto coming over from the Boston Red Sox in a nine-player megadeal in which the club inherited $275 million in contracts. "They want to win, and they want to win now. So Id like to hold on with both hands and see just how far theyll take this ballclub -- because I really think theyre going to take it as high as it can possible go," Scully said. "And with all the optimism, it would be pretty hard to walk away from that." The Dodgers havent won a World Series title since 1988, but that isnt the primary reason Scullys coming back. "I dont really measure how long I want to stay by the success of the team. I really think its inside," Scully said. "It has nothing to do with the team. Its the love affair. Thats part of the way I feel about baseball." It might be hard to imagine, considering how long Scully has been the voice of the Dodgers franchise, but there was a time when he nearly left the teams broadcast booth. "Personally, there were a couple of times that I really dont care to think about," he said. "But one time, we had been out here only about four years, and I got a call from a friend of mine in the advertising business who said: Did you ever think about coming back and doing the Yankee games? "The great Mel Allen was having some troubles, and they were wondering what would happen if Mel couldnt continue, and they thought about bringing the kid back to New York. I thought about it for maybe 72 hours, but I realized that I was so in love with the OMalley family that there was no way I was going to walk away. That was probably the closest I came to even giving it a thought." Scully will continue to call all Dodgers home and road games in California and Arizona. But there is one other scheduled road series next season that he doesnt want to miss. "There is a temptation -- and if my wife Sandy promises to go with me -- I really would like to see Yankee Stadium and the Dodgers play the Yankees," Scully said. "Thats scheduled for two games next year, so that really gets my imagination stirring. First of all, Ive never seen the new Yankee Stadium. I can remember my first World Series there in 1953, so a lot of things will come back when and if I go to New York." The Dodgers say Scullys tenure is the longest of any broadcaster with any team. He calls all nine innings of the teams TV broadcasts, while the first three innings of each of his games are simulcast on radio. Dodgers chairman and owner Mark Walter says Scullys return for another season "means a great deal to all of us." Cheap Jerseys From China .763 mph in Saturdays qualifying.

DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Prince Fielder added a solo shot in the eighth to help the Detroit Tigers avoid a three-game sweep with a 7-1 victory Wednesday night over the Cleveland Indians. Detroits Doug Fister (8-8) allowed a run and four hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked one. Ubaldo Jimenez (9-15) gave up four runs and six hits in 7 1-3 innings. He was generally sharp after allowing Cabreras 35th homer of the year, but Detroit tacked on five more runs in the eighth to break it open. The Tigers lost back-to-back 3-2 games to start this series but took the finale to remain a game behind the first-place Chicago White Sox in the AL Central. Fister has been on the disabled list twice this season and also missed a start Aug. 25 because of a groin problem. Hes had Clevelands number lately, though. In his last seven starts against the Indians, hes 5-1 with a 1.54 ERA. Detroit is hoping for another big September from the right-hander. He went 5-0 with a 0.53 ERA in the month last year. If Fister can stay healthy and provide quality outings, the Tigers could have a pretty formidable trio of starters for their playoff chase -- with Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer also looking impressive. Austin Jackson led off the Detroit first with a single. One out later, Cabrera homered to right..dddddddddddd. Cleveland cut the margin in half in the fourth on an RBI single by Michael Brantley, who has hit safely in 16 straight games against Detroit. Jimenez became the first major leaguer in 2012 to reach 15 losses. It looked like he might pitch his first complete game since coming to Cleveland in a midseason trade last year, but he was pulled in the eighth after Andy Dirks hit an RBI triple. Dirks scored on a sacrifice fly by Cabrera. Fielder followed with his 24th homer of the season, and Jhonny Peralta made it 7-1 with a two-run double. While the game was still close, Detroit reliever Joaquin Benoit walked Ezequiel Carrera to start the top of the eighth and fell behind 2-0 to pinch-hitter Casey Kotchman. After a visit from pitching coach Jeff Jones, Benoit got Kotchman to hit a routine fly to centre. Shin-soo Choo then grounded into a double play. NOTES: Cleveland 3B Jason Donald was called out by umpire Jim Joyce on a very close play at first in the fifth. Joyce infamously called Donald safe at first in a game at Detroit in 2010, costing Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game. ... Donald made a terrific catch in foul ground on Brennan Boeschs popup in the fourth, holding on while tumbling over the railing and into the crowd. A young woman appeared shaken up but was able to walk away. ' ' '
