Fans are using #DearVin to share their Vin Scully memories—here are some of the best

The outpouring of affection keeps on flowing for radio broadcaster Vin Scully, the Dodgers announcer who will call the final game of his 67-year career with the team on Sunday. 

As the celebrations around his retirement go on, the Dodgers are encouraging their fans to share their memories of how Scully's voice has been a part of their own lives by posting on social media using the hashtag #DearVin. They have set up a special #DearVin website pulling in the posts across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Scrolling through the collection of kind thoughts and touching memories shows the genuine emotional connection people felt with Scully over the years. 

Below are some of the sweetest posts on the #DearVin feed so far. Dodgers fans might want to have some tissue close at hand, because you may get a little misty-eyed. Has Vin Scully been a part of your life in a special way? Now is the time to get those feelings out and let the world know how much he has meant to you.

@Dodgers #DearVin My grandfather from Mexico loved baseball. He learned English by listening to Vin Scully on the radio.
