Sad day for Yankee fans. Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto passes away at the ripe old age of 89. I'm not old enough to remember Scooter as a player but it was his voice that I grew up on calling Yankee games. Every Yankee fan has a favorite Scooter story and if you ever get a chance to see it, his induction speech at Cooperstown it is the greatest speech of all time. Phil will live in the hearts of Yankee fans for ever and how many other Hall of Farmer's are featured on a hit record. In the 80's when baseball cards were the big thing I met Scooter at a card show in Saratoga. Of all the players I met at these types of shows no one measured up to Phil. If you wanted a picture taken, sure come around the table. Would you inscribe that, no problem. People didn't mind waiting because it seemed that you got a personal visit with the Yankee legend. Rest in Peace Scooter, you will be missed.
