Also, the Los Angeles Angels held a moment of silence for Scully before their home game against the Oakland Athletics.<\/p>\n<p>Scully was celebrated and remembered by fans throughout LA on Wednesday.  Some recalled his voice soothing them to sleep as kids.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was like listening to your favorite song on the radio all the time, he was always in the background,&#8221; said George Esteves, a 58-year-old from Sierra Madre.<\/p>\n<p>Added Mitch Hammontree, a 68-year-old fan from Placentia, &#8220;He painted such a picture, you didn&#8217;t need a TV.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Others recalled Scully as a bridge from one generation to the next, including 29-year-old Kenneth Walls of South Los Angeles who tuned in alongside his 90-year-old grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s been a part of my life since I was born,&#8221; Walls said. &#8220;Having this opportunity to share this moment with the fans is really important.  It&#8217;s more appropriate to be in a celebratory mood for such a long, beautifully lived life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>At one point, a tiny green-colored bird alighted on a Dodgers cap nestled among the flowers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, it&#8217;s Vinny!&#8221; a woman exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>Diana Gutierrez of Downey brought her 8-year-old grandson to view the collection of mementos that included a blue-and-white Dodgers serape, baseball-shaped balloons and baseballs resting on top of the D and tucked in the V on the welcome sign at 1000 Vin Scully Ave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My grandson was saying this morning, &#8216;He&#8217;s such a nice person to everybody,&#8221; Gutierrez said. &#8220;I said, &#8216;Absolutely, that&#8217;s definitely a good memory to leave behind and that&#8217;s something to be proud of in Los Angeles.&#8217; &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Along Hollywood Boulevard, tourists and locals paused at Scully&#8217;s flower-strewn star on the Walk of Fame located two doors down from another legend, Musso &#038; Frank Grill.
