Vin Scully for the first time "will venture into the social media domain with his own Twitter (@TheVinScully), Instagram (@TheVinScully) and Facebook accounts (Vin Scully)," according to Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY. Scully's Twitter and Instagram accounts "officially will launch Wednesday, and Facebook in October." The HOF broadcaster has "never used social media," but he is "eager to share his legendary calls and material and have his own voice on social media to direct fans to his authentic site." It will be the "first time he has a team looking out for his interests in the digital space." Scully's social media sites "will repurpose many of his legendary calls," and there also will be "pictures, quotes, and commemorative moments" (USA TODAY, 8/31). USA TODAY's Nightengale in a separate piece goes with the header, "Catching Up With Vin Scully: On America Today, Jackie Robinson, MLB In 2020 And Daily Life In Retirement" (8/31).
