Courage is being scared to death__and saddling up anyway
Billy Jaffe, Radio Voice of the Thrashers:
”I have absolutely No problem with Ohio State. It has a beautiful campus, and for a Junior College it has really great Academics.”
"Gentlemen and ladies, 'Those Who Stay Will Be Champions' is for you too. It's for every Michigan fan that's out there. When the going gets tough, you don't cut and run. It's not the Michigan way. If I heard it once from the old man, I heard it a thousand times -- when the going gets tough you find out who your real friends are, and that's why we must stay. Because there will be championships, and this staff and these kids will bring those championships here."
The same people who are missing Phil Rizutto probably don't know who Bernard Manning is!
Holy Cow! I think he was the oldest living Hall of Famer when he died. Probably the smallest ever!
Even if you haven't heard OF him, I'll bet that you have heard his voice. Meat Loaf used Rizzuto's broadcast voice in his 1978 hit song "Paradise by the Dashboard Light."
Update: The new list is coming together: Nong Poy, Anita, Nok, Gif, Liisa Winkler, Kay, Nina Poon. Is it possible to find 5 more? Until then, GGs: Jessica Alba, Yuko Ogura, Zhang Ziyi, Maggie Q, and Gong Li.
after a ame in cleveland in 41, rizuttos' rookie year, joe dimaggio and lefty gomez; joes buddy; were walking to their favorite cleveland chop house. rizutto was tagging along. joe stopped "shit i left my wallet in the clubhouse. hey rookie you got any money" rizutto. "sure joe.got my per diem. $20 " joe. "give it to me" the reach the chophouse and turn in. rizutto starts to follow. joe turns to him "where are you going?
rizutto. "well joe i don't have any more money. thought i would join you guys" joe. "rookie, i said you could give me 20 bucks. i didn't say you could drink with me"
joe never repaid the 20 ,but rizutto idolized him.
Good story! I heard the first time he went on a trip with the Yankees to Virginia he saw 'grits' for the first time. He didn't know what they were so he put them in his pocket! LOL!
