fan. Here he pays tribute to Jaime Jarrín, the Spanish-language voice of Dodger baseball who will retire next month after 64 seasons with the team. Lopez’s latest TV comedy series, “Lopez vs. Lopez,” premieres Nov. 4 on NBC. It was a Friday afternoon. It was 1966 or ’67, I was about 6 or 7, playing baseball in the street in San Fernando with my friends. All of a sudden, I look up and there’s grandparents coming down the street“Get in,” my grandfather Refugio said as he pulled up next to me.
This was the day that Jaime Jarrín became part of the family forever. After we got our tickets, we found our seats, sat down and I could hear that everyone in the stadium was listening to the game on transistor radios, and they were listening to the voices of Vin Scully and Jaime Jarrín. To be there as a child, to have my eyes opened the widest they’d ever been and to have that feeling be accessible to others, no matter what language they speak — that is a beautiful thing.
As an adult, I’ve been lucky to get to know Jaime. He’s not only a talented broadcaster, but also truly a special person. He’s got a bit of royalty to him. He always speaks to everyone with a lot of respect no matter who you are, but there’s a humor and a warmth there that he gives you from the beginning. It’s not something that you ever feel like you have to earn with him. He takes you in, he puts his hand on your shoulder. He talks straight to you.
