Dodgers HOF broadcaster Jarrín to retire in 2022

LOS ANGELES -- Hall of Fame broadcaster Jaime Jarrín will retire as the Los Angeles Dodgers' Spanish-language announcer following the 2022 season, ending a 64-year run with the team.

Jarrín announced his decision on Tuesday, saying he wants to spend more time with his two sons and grandchildren as well as travel. He turns 86 in December. Jarrín's son, Jorge, retired in February, ending the first father-son duo to broadcast baseball on MLB Spanish-language radio.

The elder Jarrín began calling Dodgers games in 1959 and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998, becoming just the second Spanish-language announcer to receive the honor.

"I'm grateful to the Dodgers, the best organization in baseball, for giving me the opportunity to do what I love most for 64 years,'' Jarrín said.

He has called three perfect games (Sandy Koufax in 1965, Tom Browning in 1988 and Dennis Martinez in 1991), 22 no-hitters, 30 World Series and 30 All-Star games during his career.

"Jaime was integral in introducing the Dodgers to Los Angeles and in giving a voice to the franchise's Latino stars," team president and CEO Stan Kasten said.

"We're going to cherish this last year with him on the broadcast and wish him the best in retirement.''

Plans to honor Jarrín during the 2022 season will be announced later.
