Everything comes in twos. Another giant of NYC just died, Yankees shortstop Phil "Holy Cow!" Rizzuto. A Brooklyn boy, he played with the team from 1941 to 1956, during the Golden Age of New York City baseball. That's when the Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers ruled. He was one of the best bunters in the game, played alongside other legends like Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, and Yogi Berra, and was in 7 World Series.
After he retired from playing in 1956, he was a baseball announcer on Channel 11 for the next 40 years.
He was as New York as it got, and he will be missed.
