RIP Rizzuto
No Yankee fan I be, but just had to take a moment to give a respectful shout-out (in my church voice, naturally) to Phil Rizzuto. Ever since the ninth grade, when my roommate in boarding school dated his nephew Mike (a kid who pronounced his hometown "Reviyah" and had Homer Simpson's head spraypainted on his jeans), I've felt a special kinship to the man. And, after reading the article, I see my instincts were right.
One question though: why didn't the Times feel it relevant to mention his awesome Money Store ads? Too low-falutin' for the paper of record? My word. As my mammy always said, "Judge not lest ye be named Lester." We've all gotta make a buck - especially if it's just at seven and a half percent.
That's right.
Seven and a half percent.
