As a player, he was so versatile; he could run, hit, bunt anywhere at any time! I never thought that he would be a good announcer after the velvety eloquence of Mel Allen, but I came to love his humor,input into the game and "connoli announcements." We will miss you, you huckleberry! RIP SCOOTER!

I ALWAYS LOVED PHIL RIZZUTO AS A PLAYER WHEN I WAS A KID.
HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST BUNTERS EVER.
NOWADAYS NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO BUNT AND THEY DONT CARE.
ONE GREAT YANKEE.
R.I.P. SCOOTER
GOD BLESS HIS WIFE CORA AND FAMILY
