There are tons of bad imitators, but NO ONE can ever duplicate Phil Rizzuto. Met him outside a dept. store in '85 as he waited for Cora to shop and he did not disappoint.. He was everything a Yankee fan would ever hope he'd be. As for someone who always provided a brilliant level class and respect through the use of a voice, Bob Sheppard was in a universe of his own. Brings a lump to the throat everytime to watch these fantastic tributes...no one can ever do this like he did.
scooter was my the best color guy ever. i remember him once trying to convince white that he actually saw babe ruth hit a home run that began by flying between a short stop's legs.
First of all, The Scooter is still missed to this day and always will be. One thing this video makes me think of is how we take all these guys for granted. I pray to God that we all get to hear Bob Sheppard at Yankee stadium again. I know he is very ill but hopefully he'll get well soon. The opening of the new stadium just wouldn't be the same without Mr. Sheppard.
Redsoxfan34, you're a pathetic, worthless piece of shit! I don't care if you're a Red Sox fan, they suck cocks in hell, and even though he was a 13 season yankee, he's dead and the entire Yankee organization can't get over their loss. So FUCK YOURSELF IN THE ASS OR GET SHOT, BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING SHIT- EATING ASSFUCK!!
while your sentiment is well meant, i'm sorry but that just makes you just as bad. if you want to show redsoxfan34 be more classy.
and to redsoxfan34, be a FUCKING HUMAN BEING FOR A MOMENT. I'm sure there were plenty of non redsox fans who paid their respects to Ted Williams. You are sadly a majority when it comes to Red Sox fans. Grow up please. Act your age and not you shoe size.
even if you weren't a yankee fan Phill Rizzuto is a legend.. how many people would watch him broadcast on WPIX? he was the reason a lot of ppl watched the games. he was a great announcer because he was human. so shame on all you people who didn't show any compassion.
Im tired of people saying that he wasnt that great of a player or a broadcaster. He is def. Hall of Fame material, he deserves his place in it, and those who dont think he was any good don't know greatness when they see it.
there are many more people who deserve to be in the hall of fame ahead of him. Dom DiMaggio, Jim Rice, Dwight Evans, Joe Gordon to name a few... What bothers me about Phil Rizzuto being in the hall of fame is that so many people deserve it more.
@ubersoxfan001 Hey, Rice did finally make it. Dom DiMaggio, Evans, and Gordon were solid players, but maybe not quite HOF caliber (Dom certainly wasn't his brother Joe). Every deserving player will eventually get in.
@xpo920 He was solid on the field and entertaining behind the mike. I'll never forget the Scooter. He's up there now with Frank Messer and Bobby Murcer.
rest in peace phil. HOLY COW was his signature line. he always called the players by their last names and he always came in and said wheres Jeter? R.I.P.#10 Phil "The Scooter" Rizutto
Thanks. Very cool. Crude but effective. The last time I was in Yankee Stadium was 1973...the final year of the old Stadium. Yanks beat the Royals, and Sparky got the save. I'm sure Phil was up in the booth, calling the play-by-play. Thanks, Phil.

Phil Rizzuto, he may have been a good person, but overrated as a player!
