    WE lost a great Yankee today---"The Scooter"-Phile Rizzuto

    Phil Rizzuto was a Hall of Fame shortstop for the Yankees during their dynasty of the 1940s and '50s and a beloved member of the team as both a player and a broadcaster. A fixture on the field for 13 seasons, Rizzuto helped the Yankees to seven World Series championships. A great contact hitter and a superb fielder, Rizzuto frequently supplied the ingredients for victory and was the American League's MVP in 1950. After his playing career he moved to the broadcast booth, from where he entertained fans for 40 seasons.

    PHILIP FRANCIS RIZZUTO
    "SCOOTER"
    NEW YORK, A.L., 1941-1942, 1946-1956

    OVERCAME DIMINUTIVE SIZE (5'6", 150 LBS) TO ANCHOR SUPERB YANKEE TEAMS WHICH WON 10 PENNANTS AND 8 WORLD SERIES DURING HIS 13 MAJOR LEAGUE SEASONS. OUTSTANDING SHORTSTOP ON FIVE CONSECUTIVE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CLUBS. SKILLED BUNTER AND ENTHUSIASTIC BASE RUNNER WITH SOLID .273 LIFETIME BATTING AVERAGE. ALL-STAR FIVE TIMES AND A.L. MVP IN 1950 WHEN HE PEAKED AT .324 WITH 200 HITS AND A .439 SLUGGING PCT.

    Another legend has left us.

    It seems like all of the good people are dying.

    We'll miss you, Phil. The Yankees won't be the same without you...:(
