Living legend Vin Scully celebrates his 85th birthday today, so why not honor the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) with a short #ThrowbackThursday post. KTLA broke down Scully’s top-five calls in his career and while Nos. 1 and 2 are obvious, I don’t know about the other three. Iconic sports moments, surely.
