A Tribute to Phil Rizzuto

Phil Rizzuto played shortstop for the New York Yankees from 1941-1956 (excluding war years in the Navy) and was a broadcaster for the Yankees from 1956-1996. Nicknamed “The Scooter” due to his hustle on the field, Rizzuto played on seven World Champion Yankee teams. He won the 1950 American League Most Valuable Player Award and was named to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994. He passed away in August 2007. This show is an example of his broadcasting style as we listen to 1977 New York Yankee highlights.
