Holy Cow! RIP Scooter

I most closely associate Phil with my early years at YU, and the sense of exuberance and freedom I felt at the time. His voice will forever be connected in my mind with my first opportunity, after years of patient, solitary Yankee fandom exiled in Oriole-land (sorry David!), to listen to my team's games on a regular basis. And of course there was his memorable speaking role in Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", another cultural artifact of the time with a special place in my nostalgic recollections.
And finally, I have to note that as a 5-6 pro ball player, Rizzuto was inspirational to all us "vertically challenged" folks.
Rest in peace, Phil, and may you be troubled by no "huckleberrys" in the hereafter.
