Phil Rizzuto, nicknamed
"The Scooter"
, was an American
Major League Baseball
shortstop
. He spent his entire 13-year baseball career with the
New York Yankees
(1941–1956), and was elected to the
National Baseball Hall of Fame
in 1994.
A popular figure on a team dynasty that captured 10 AL titles and seven World Championships in his 13 seasons, Rizzuto holds numerous World Series records for shortstops. His best statistical season was 1950, when he was named the
American League
's
Most Valuable Player
. Despite this offensive peak, Rizzuto was a classic "
small ball
" player, noted for his strong defense in the infield. The slick-fielding Rizzuto is also regarded as one of the best
bunters
in baseball history. When he retired, his 1,217 career
double plays
ranked second in major league history, trailing only
Luke Appling
's total of 1,424, and his .968 career
fielding average
trailed only
Lou Boudreau
's mark of .973 among AL shortstops.
After his playing career, Rizzuto enjoyed a 40-year career as a
radio and television
sports announcer
for the Yankees. His idiosyncratic style and unpredictable digressions charmed listeners, while his lively play-by-play brought a distinct energy to his broadcasts. He was well known for his trademark expression
"holy cow!"
