The Los Angeles Dodgers will pay tribute to Vin Scully before Tuesday night's game against the New York Mets

Tuesday marks the 73rd anniversary of the first regular-season game Scully broadcast.

A tribute video will be played, members of the late Dodger broadcaster's family will throw the ceremonial first pitch and the first 40,000 fans in attendance will receive a Vin Scully jersey.

Scully's first regular-season game was on April 18, 1950, when the then-Brooklyn Dodgers faced the Phillies at Philadelphia's Shibe Park.
