R.I.P. Phil Rizzuto

I wish I could do you more justice, but even those of us that didn't see you play or watch you broadcast, know that you were a great Yankee, and more importantly, a great man. We'll miss you Phil!

Oh my god Scooter!

Rest in Peace Phil Rizzuto. Never will you escape the hearts of te Yankee faithful.

Terrible news, although 89 years is nothing to be ashamed about...one of the all-time greatest Yankees both on the field and in the broadcast booth. A huge loss to the Yankees and to baseball. RIP Scooter.

I'm surprised at the mediocre treatment this is getting. A HOF SS and a near HOF broadcaster, not to mention a widely respected player in the Majors, and thusly elected by the VC in the '90's.

C'mon people.

R.I.P. Phil, you are a legend!

Sad the hear this. Rizzuto wasn't just a great Yankee but a great ambassador for baseball. One of the best careers in baseball. 13 seasons as a player winning 7 WS titles and then broadcasting for another 40. Hard to top that!! Have fun where ever you are Scooter!

About time a non-Yankee fan commented.

[BuckFoston]

The non-yankee fans here don't really like to support us.

[browntown653]

Ah, let's not pity ourselves here.

RIP man!

RIP Mr. Phil Rizzuto..


Baseball truly lost a legend today. I believe he will watch the game carefully from heaven.


My prayers and thoughts go out to The Rizzuto Family.

[love_that_reefer]

I have nothing against the Yankees.

I was just reading yesterday an old short SI article about Phil Rizzuto when he was a player having befriended a young Ed Lucas. Phil must have been a great guy.
