Phil Rizzuto, 1917-2007

August 15, 2007

This is a sad day for Carmen and me. Phil was a gem, one of the greatest people I ever knew – a dear friend and great teammate. He was a heck of a player, too. When I first came up to the Yankees, he was like a big, actually small, brother to me. He’s meant an awful lot to baseball and the Yankees and has left us with a lot of wonderful memories.
