The Reds will honor Cincinnati legend and radio icon Jim Scott with a moment of remembrance ahead of Friday's game against the Tigers.

Scott passed away last week after a long battle with ALS. The radio legend spent 31 years at 700 WLW and was a radio host for 47 years before retiring in 2015.

Scott was always a big part of Opening Day festivities and served as an honorary grand marshal earlier this year.
