April 23 (UPI) -- Former Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster and Hall of Famer Vin Scully is hospitalized after suffering a fall at his home Tuesday afternoon.

"I won't be doing anymore headfirst sliding," Scully joked, according to the Dodgers. "I never liked it."

Scully, who called Dodgers games for 67 years, retired from broadcasting after the 2016 season. During his time with the club, he saw the Dodgers win six World Series titles and relocate from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. He was the organization's last remaining link to Brooklyn.

Scully, who graduated from Fordham University, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982. He was the recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award in 1982 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016.
