Vin Scully is planning to attend Game 5 of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium on Thursday. Bob Nightengale of USA Today was first with the news.

Scully, 88, hasn’t been to Dodger Stadium since broadcasting his final game here Sept. 25. He’s since appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live but otherwise kept a low profile in the early weeks of his retirement.

There’s been no indication from the Dodgers if Scully will merely attend the game as a fan, be recognized in some capacity on the field or on the video boards, or take part in any pregame presentations.

Vin Scully will be a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live this Thursday.

Vin Scully will be mic’d up in October after all.

This Thursday night, the 88-year-old Hall of Famer will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live for his first television interview since broadcasting the last game of his historic career.

Additional guests on Thursday night include Colin Ferrell and Laverne Cox. Jimmy Kimmel Live airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on ABC.
