JAIME JARRÍN

Jaime Jarrín is best known for his incredible 64 years as the play-by-play voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jarrín joined the Spanish language broadcast team in 1959, a year after the team moved to Los Angeles. He became the team’s primary broadcaster in 1973. Jarrín had joined the Dodgers flagship Spanish language station, KWKW-AM, four years earlier in 1955 as News and Sports director. From 1962 to 1984, Jarrín never missed a game, calling nearly 4,000 games over 22 seasons. The streak was broken only when he took charge of all the Spanish-language radio coverage and production for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. His relationship with Spanish speaking Los Angeles Dodgers fans became a forever bond. 

In 2015, Jarrín chose to broadcast with one of his sons, fellow Los Angeles broadcaster Jorge Jarrín, for five seasons.

With the retirement of fellow Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully in 2016, Jarrín became the longest tenured active broadcaster in baseball a year later, in April 2017. Jarrín retired after the 2022 season, completing 64 total seasons with the Dodgers. 

Throughout his successful career, Jarrín has called more than 30 World Championship boxing title bouts, 25 All-Star Games and 25 World Series. In addition to his work for the Dodgers, Jarrín also continued to cover major news events for KWKW-AM.  

In 2024, Jaime Jarrín was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.
