December 3, 2012

In honor of his 85th birthday, Vin Scully took over the Dodgers' team Twitter account on Monday. The legendary broadcaster fielded questions ranging from his favorite TV show to his greatest moments in the booth. Here are some of his best twits -- er, tweets below:

The kind sir that he is, Scully thanked his fans for the birthday wishes.

I was deeply touched by all of the birthday wishes. Thank you. #AskVin

In the booth, the 63-year vet relies on his instincts. And if you want him to start discussing sabermetrics, someone can teach him -- the same way he's being taught about "the" Twitter.

.@joskajess Preparation is gathering information all year long. However, in the booth it's mostly thought of in the moment. #AskVin

.@craigary Don't get too involved in new stats. There isn't any feeling for them. I'll have to be reeducated like with the Twitter. #AskVin

Then Vin took a moment to reflect on the fact that he was trending in the U.S.

On trending in the United States: "Oh my lord, it's a slow day." #AskVin

Of course, the longtime broadcaster also has fine taste in TV. Can we get a Vin Scully cameo, please?

I've been hooked on a television show called "Homeland." They do that show so well. #AskVin

Unfortunately, Vin had to eventually sign off the Dodgers handle. You can read more of his tweets here. And yes, Mr. Scully, we look forward to "twittering" with you next season as well.

Thank you all. I look forward to Twittering with you during the season. #AskVin
