Rest in Peace Scooter

Phil Rizzuto, Yankees' Hall of Fame shortstop and longtime broadcaster, dies at 89


IMO - all time greatest sports announcer. Period. End of story. The clowns around today are just a waste of time and space. I end up watching baseball with the sound off because I find these people so annoying and inane.

While many announcers spouted statistics, Rizzuto told stories. He delighted television and radio listeners by spinning yarns about his fear of lightning, his favorite place to get a cannoli and the prospect of outfielder Dave Winfield as a candidate for president.

Add insult to injury, the Yankees lost 12 zip to Baltimore. sigh
