Mi meg közben nyugisan lenyomtuk a Tigerst. Ez a Joba gyerek egyre jobban tolja. :) Ja és közben az angyalok, hidegre tették a Vörös Zoknisokat, így ismét 4 a GB. :)
Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto, who overcame his diminutive size to become a key contributor to numerous New York Yankees championships and followed his playing career with a lengthy and entertaining stint in the team's broadcast booth, died Tuesday. He was 89.
Phil Rizzuto Born: September 25, 1917 in New York, NY Height: 5-6, Weight 150. Threw and batted righthanded Number retired in 1985 Playing 13 years for the Yanks, "Scooter" went to the World Series in 10 of those seasons. That stat may best explain why the diminutive shortstop is regarded as a true Yankee legend. He was a durable, outstanding shortstop, skilled bunter and enthusiastic baserunner with a solid .273 lifetime batting average. In 1950 Rizzuto earned the A.L. MVP Award, batting .324 with 200 hits, 92 bases on balls, and 125 runs scored. He batted .320 in the 1951 World Series and was named Series' MVP. Spent 40 years as a Yankee broadcaster (1957-96). Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1995.
Maybe Cleveland's home should be renamed Jeter's Field. His .383 career average (74-for-193) at the Jake is the highest for any player since the ballpark opened in 1994.
