In addition to watching the team’s playoff games on TV, he appeared on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night. Scully called his last came on Oct. 2 in San Francisco.

“I went to the hardware store,” the legendary 88-year-old broadcaster said. “I have a very important engagement on Monday the 17th — I am lecturing at the sixth-grade school at St. Mel’s [in Woodland Hills]. I have a granddaughter and a grandson there. We have 16 grandchildren, so you know if I can’t think of something to do, someone out there will.”

Scully taped his interview with Kimmel hours before the Dodgers defeated the Washington Nationals 4-3 to clinch their National League Division Series in five games.

”I expect them to win,” he said.

Scully also discussed his early days broadcasting at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum after the Dodgers moved West from Brooklyn for the 1958 season. Fans carried transistor radios to follow the action described by Sully because they sat too far away from the field in the large stadium. After the team moved to Dodger Stadium, fans continued to bring radios to here him call games.

”I did put most of Southern California to sleep,” he joked. ”The transistor radio went under the pillow. I hear that my entire life now.”

During the Patriots’ Super Bowl winning press tour, the always goofy Rob Gronkowski visited Jimmy Kimmel Live: where the talk show host began to ask about the fight that concluded Super Bowl XLIX. When asked about the incident, Jimmy Kimmel accused Gronk of throwing a couple of punches, which he responded with “I don’t think I did.”

Then Kimmel decided to show him a replay of the events, which resulted in Gronk acting shocked and stating, “No Roger [Goodell], no I did not… Roger that wasn’t me. Don’t fine me.” It is a funny little moment, but I do not know if the always angry commissioner is going to like the tight end’s last comment, “I was like, ‘Screw it, last game of the year, I’m throwing some haymakers.’ ” Well, his openness will probably land him a fine: that is if Goodell is not busy investigating Deflate-Gate or fining Marshawn Lynch.

So David Beckham stopped by last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about various things including his retirement: after 21 years playing soccer, Beckham retired in 2013.

And as of right now he has taken up a new profession, taxi driver. He is tasked with dropping off and picking up his kids from school every day. “I’ve become a taxi driver overnight with the kids. I’m literally an Uber driver now… I take them from seven in the morning to the schools; I have four drop offs at four different schools. So I get that done in an hour and fifteen minutes. And then, I pick up my little girl at 12 and then the boys at 4. And then the boys train at a soccer academy every single night of the week, so I’m busy every night until 9:30… to be honest, it’s great.”
