Comedian George Lopez paid heartfelt tribute to longtime Dodgers broadcaster Jaime Jarrín, who is set to be honored this week in Los Angeles after announcing his retirement last year.

“Jaime Jarrín was your eyes and ears of a sport when you didn’t speak the language,” Lopez wrote. “He allowed you to understand it, he would tell you what he saw on the field and make you feel like you were there.”Jaime Jarrín, who has been the Dodgers’ Spanish-language broadcaster since 1959, announced that 2022 will be his final season behind the microphone.

“For me, hearing Jaime Jarrín’s voice is equivalent to the smell of my grandmother’s cooking and the warmth of her kitchen,” Lopez continued. Lopez is among countless baseball fans living in the United States and abroad who have come to know, love and depend on Jarrín as “the Spanish voice of the Dodgers.” Later in life, the sitcom star has even gotten to know Jarrín personally as a “truly special person” as well as a “talented broadcaster.”
