Holy Cow. New York & The Yankees Lose Our Scooter

One of the most recognized voices in baseball fell silent today... Phil Rizzuto was a Yankees shortstop and beloved announcer for five decades. He'll be missed.

The attached Yahoo! story includes a comment, for some reason, from Rudy Giuliani. You can skip that part.

As a kid growing up in Manhattan, Rizzuto made my usually sucky Yankees that much more awesome.
