The one, the only, Mr. Vin Scully took over the Los Angeles Dodgers twitter account during the second game of the team's doubleheader against the Yankees on Wednesday. Scully doesn't take road trips outside of the division anymore, so instead we had to imagine his voice coming through on "the twitterz," as he is fond of calling them on broadcasts. Here are a few of the highlights:
Hi everybody and a pleasant Wednesday evening to you, wherever you may be. -#VinScully

I broadcast the Yankee/ Dodger World Series in '53, '55, '56, '63 and '81. No way I could have imagined tweeting a game. -#VinScully

Upon telling Vin he is already trending in the United States, "Wow! Hot diggity dog. Well, Puig just bunted for a base hit." -#VinScully

The #Dodgers must be inspired by Twitter -- they've had four straight hits. They know they're on Twitter. -#VinScully

Two of the biggest thrills: One would be Larsen's perfect game, and the other would be the Dodgers winning the '55 World Series. -#VinScully

I'm looking at Yankee Stadium and it looks so different from the old one. -#VinScully

On the #NBAFinals, "I thought San Antonio would have won it by now, so I'll stay with them." -#VinScully

I once played against George H. W. Bush. He played 1B for Yale, and I played CF for Fordham. We both went 0-for-3. #TrueStory -#VinScully

In response to all of the 'thank you's,' "Well, I don't think I really did very much. Thank you all." -#VinScully

Thanks so much for joining me on Twitter and good night. -#VinScully
