(USA Today)Just when you thought the great Vin Scully had seen and done it all, he breaks new ground in social media.

During the second game of the Los Angeles Dodgers day-night doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Wednesday, the legendary broadcaster, who elected not to travel cross country to broadcast the series at Yankee Stadium, instead took over the Dodgers official Twitter feed to add his insight and share his endless pearls of wisdom with the masses.

It was a wonderful thing to follow along with, especially when you consider it was just two months ago that Scully was asking on air "What in the world is a hashtag?" He still may not understand the concept completely, but it was only a matter of minutes before the hashtag #vinscully was trending in the United States.

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

Though he did seem a little excited there, he was obviously more interested in what was happening in the game. Would you expect anything else?

Also, yes, the Dodgers did have someone in place to do the heavy-lifting (aka typing), but it was still classic Vin Scully from start to finish. And speaking of that, here are a few more of Mr. Scully's best tweets of the evening, beginning with his customary welcome to Dodgers baseball.

Jay Bruce made the two biggest plays of the game for the Cincinnati Reds in their division win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. With his team trailing 1-0 in the seventh, Bruce drifted as far as he could go on an Andrew McCutchen opposite field fly ball that was ticketed for the first row of seats. Though not nearly as athletic as McCutchen, Bruce showed off some impressive hops as he left his feet and pulled the ball down to keep his Reds within one.

The game would stay 1-0 until the bottom of the ninth when Bruce stepped in against Pittsburgh closer Jason Grilli in a matchup he hasn't fared well in historically. He entered the at-bat 0 for 7 lifetime with five strikeouts, and that's not even factoring in that Grilli has been the most dominant closer in baseball this season having converted 25 of 25 saves. Maybe all that really meant was the odds were in Bruce's favor, or maybe he just took a smart approach by firing on the first plate, because he launched a no doubt homer into the right field seats to tie it up.

It took another four innings before the game would be decided. After Vin Mazzaro intentionally walked Joey Votto to load the bases, a struggling Brandon Phillips bounced one up the middle just beyond the reached of shortstop Clint Barmes to give Cincinnati the 2-1 win in 13.

Collmenter to the rescue: Starting pitcher Trevor Cahill was forced from the game after one inning after taking a line drive off the hip, which meant Arizona manager Kirk Gibson had to turn to Josh Collmenter for an extended emergency relief outing. Collmenter responded in a big way, tossing six innings of one-hit ball while striking out seven Miami Marlins.

The Washington Nationals might or might not ever get their collective groove back this season. But this much we know: A foul ball by slugger Ryan Zimmerman is the scariest thing in Major League Baseball — even to a fan sitting behind home plate, supposedly well-protected by a net from flying objects.

Zimmerman made a fan wearing a Philadelphia Phillies shirt flinch at a screamer headed right his way Wednesday night, and the fan's reflex was so pronounced, he splashed beer on himself (and on two or three other fans nearby) from a bottle he held in his left hand.

Which reaction is more appropriate? "D'oh!" or "Hah-hahhh!"? Either way, as Zoo with Roy pointed out, the moment was worth Nats broadcaster F.P. Santangelo activating the Telestrator. He circled the fan, like Bert Blyleven or John Madden might have, and added this commentary:

This ring comes with quite a story. First there's the one you know: The Cincinnati Reds won that World Series amid one of baseball's most famous scandals. Players from the Chicago White Sox were alleged to have thrown the series and afterward were banned from baseball.

Now the story you might not know: Back then most players didn't get World Series rings. They got World Series pins because rings were considered "effeminate." Reds manager Pat Moran, however, got a ring after the '19 series. According to the item description by Lelands, Moran's ring was given to a milkman in the manager's hometown after his death. Crazy, right?! Must have been some good milk.

(New York Daily News)According to a New York Daily News report, Cristina Torre, daughter of former major league player, manager, and current executive Joe Torre, played the role of a hero on Wednesday.

While walking down Third Avenue in Brooklyn, Torre spotted a baby boy, said to be one year old, hanging off the edge of a storefront awning that was in serious danger of falling at least ten feet to the sidewalk below.

Torre, 44, quickly positioned herself underneath the awning and according to eyewitnesses was able to outstretch her arms at the moment the baby finally lost his grip and caught him in her arms, saving his life.

“The woman caught the baby,” said Kristen Bramsen, 48. “The baby was shaken. Everyone was going up to the woman and hugging her. I hugged her.”

But the daughter of the former Yankees manager didn’t gloat about the save.

“She just smiled and said she was in shock,” Bramsen recalled.

As fine a career as Joe Torre had on the field, he never made a better or more important catch than that.

(Hillsboro Hops)

The Hillsboro Hops are the new Single-A short season affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks — and yes, the team is named for the plant that's used in brewing beer. That's just a fun fact, not the point of this story. Besides, beer is a fun entry point for any tale, right?

The Hops used to be the Yakima Bears, before moving this season to Hillsboro (which is near Portland, Ore.) Monday night was the Hops' first game, which brought a good deal of excitement because they're the only pro baseball team in the Portland area, and it was the opening of the brand-new Hillsboro Ballpark. A Major League Baseball authenticator was on hand to put a stamp of approval on any historic happenings. It was that kind of night.

So when Jordan Parr — just drafted by the D-backs out of the University of Illinois — hit the first home run at Hillsboro Ballpark, the Hops moved quick to preserve the moment. A 15-year-old fan caught the homer and when the Hops went to ask for the ball back, things got fun. John Canzano, the great sports columnist at The Oregonian tells the story:

The Hops offered the kid an autographed team baseball in exchange for the home-run ball. He turned them down.

If we needed any confirmation that Kate Upton doesn't like Justin Verlander as much as she allegedly used to, a happy birthday tweet she sent to Frank Viola III on Wednesday confirmed it. What does Frank Viola III, a son of the famed left-handed pitcher with a similar name, have to do with ex-SuperCouple Kate 'n' Justin? He's one of Verlander's best friends and, apparently, his friendship with Upton has survived the alleged Verlander breakup. It happens to famous people and the sons of famous people too!

Upton and Verlander never actually said on the record they were dating — it just kind of got out there. Dang paparazzi! Anyway, Upton repeatedly has said in recent times that she is single, and all of the anecdotal evidence linking her and Verlander has dried up. So they're kaput. But that doesn't mean a girl can't wish a friend of a friend a happy birthday!

Only, the eCard she included in the tweet said "Happy birthday to a friend of a friend who I now like more than the original friend." She deleted the tweet with the eCard less than 45 minutes later and replaced it with one that didn't include an eCard that slighted her (likely) ex-boyfriend.

Now, does this have anything to do with Verlander's self-admittedly disappointing season in which his ERA has risen to 3.72 for the Detroit Tigers? No. ... Doubtful. ... Probably not. ... Who can say for sure? Just maybe.

One of those.

Many of us like to think of ourselves as Lego artists, but most of us can't do with the little plastic blocks what Sean Kenney can do. This Lego construction of an nearly scale model of Wrigley Field, which Kenney made with 57,960 bricks, is extraordinary.

The question is: Rather than messing with the real Wrigley by renovating it, can't the Cubs just play at Kenney's Lego Wrigley? Plastic lasts forever! All right, enough Zoolander-like jokes.

(If I had a criticism of Kenney's work: No rooftop buildings. Technically, of course, they're not a part of the ballpark. Yet, they've become part it.)

Lego Wrigley is the star of an exhibit called "Big Leagues, Little Bricks" at the Louisville Slugger Museum, which even without it is one of the best baseball experiences in the country, almost on par with the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Kenney also includes some remarkably realistic portraits of Derek Jeter, Joey Votto and Buster Posey, along with other baseball-related sculptures.

This is what the Slugger Museum has to say about Kenney, along with what else is on display through Labor Day:
