Jaime Jarrín, the golden voice of Spanish-language baseball, sits down with host Giselle Fernandez in a new episode of “LA Stories” to reflect on a journey that began with a bold voyage from Ecuador and evolved into a legendary 64-year career with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Revered as the “Vin Scully of Spanish-language radio,” Jarrín recalls first traveling the world as a boxing commentator, and later calling perfect games and becoming the voice that connected generations of Latino fans to America’s pastime.
“Every day, before going into the game, I would ask God, ‘Please give me the talent to say what I am seeing, and please let me see the game with my eyes, not with my heart,'” he said.
Beyond the broadcast booth, Jarrín opens up about personal loss, community devotion and his enduring mission to give back.
From launching a scholarship foundation in honor of his late son to speaking out about immigration injustices, Jarrín’s life has been as much about compassion as it has been about sports.
“What really fills my heart is when people stop me, and they say, ‘Mr. Jarrín, thanks to you, I have spent more time with my grandfather.’”
As he reflects on his legacy and continued role as a Dodgers ambassador, Jarrín expresses a deep love for the game and the community that embraced him.
Still vibrant at nearly 92, he shows no signs of slowing down. And his only wish is for another Dodgers championship.
“The booth was like a throne, and I had the best team in the house,” he said. “And the Dodgers were very nice to name the booth ‘Jaime Jarrín’s Booth.'”
