Jaime Jarrín, the Los Angeles Dodgers Spanish-language radio voice since 1959, will be honored and celebrated before the team plays the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.
The L.A. Times reported that the retiring Jarrín will finish his time on the air after the team’s playoff run and will continue to “represent the organization as a community ambassador.”
“I feel really good physically, mentally really good,” he said. “I think I could keep working four or five more years, but no, I think this is the precise moment.”

Jarrín “didn’t reach the American mainstream until 1981” when he served as former MLB pitcher Fernando Valenzuela’s primary interpreter during his rookie season.
