Vin Scully revealed the drink order he made sure to learn in Japanese

Of course Vin Scully speaks a little Japanese. In fact, if you were to ask me, I'd assume that Scully was fluent in every major language, could read some of the smaller ones and even knew a bit about some dead languages. 
At a news conference before the Dodgers' game against the Rockies on Saturday, Scully revealed that not only did he start learning some Japanese all the way back in 1956, but he made sure to know one very specific phrase for "Scotch and water and a lot of ice." 
Scully also talked about what made him so happy to call Dodgers games every day and his reaction to Friday's ceremony in his honor. Watch that below:
