After 65 years, what's Vin Scully's favorite Dodgers moment?
Why, the 1955 World Series title, when the team still called Brooklyn home.
Scully, the longtime Dodgers announcer, took over the team's Twitter account ahead of the 100th Rose Bowl where Scully will serve as the the Rose Parade's Grand Marshal on Jan. 1.
Some of his greatest hits, or Tweets, from Monday:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! A pleasure to be tweeting with you this morning. #AskVin

.@vincebase5 probably the '55 World Series. That was the only one the #Dodgers ever won in Brooklyn. That was probably the most momentous.

.@weber_virginia yes, the Grand Marshal tosses the coin to start the game! No, I'll be busy with the entire family who will be there #AskVin

.@clariceann__27 Certainly the 42-8 stretch was bordering on the miraculous. That was really amazing. #AskVin

.@TBrownYahoo As a small boy we never had a Christmas tree. I'd go to bed and there would be no sign of Christmas in the apartment. #AskVin

.@TBrownYahoo When I was asleep my dad would go to the tree lot & bring a little tree to the apartment and he & my mother would decorate it.

.@TBrownYahoo I would wake up and rush into the living room and there would be a Christmas tree fully decorated. #AskVin

.@Geeman1026 It would be hard for me to leave the gathering at our house with 16 grandchildren. It will be quite a group. #AskVin

.@ErnieMontano It was at the Polo Grounds. Dodgers and the Giants. I would say it was 1939. In the bleachers and cost 55 cents. #AskVin

.@LAKingsSCC2012 Walter O'Malley introduced me to General Douglas MacArthur. He was a typical General -- strong, quiet, austere. #AskVin

.@sanjosegarber Babe Ruth. Great hitter, great pitcher. #AskVin

Vin Scully on if he heard the #Dodgers are doing a Babe Ruth bobblehead this season: No, but I want one. #AskVin
