PHIL RIZZUTO
He signs a 14x11 photo of clubhouse celebration after Game Five of the 1951
World Series.
Photograph signed: "McDugal [sic], 'Scooter" + Lopat".
B/w, 14x11. (Rizzuto has handwritten all 3 names.) Shown with the Ed Lopat, the
game's winning pitcher, and Gil McDougald, who hit a grand slam homer. Rizzuto
himself got 3 hits, scoring twice, as the Yankees romped to a 13-1 victory over
the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds. They clinched the World Championship at
Yankee Stadium the next day. Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto (1916-2007) was an
All-Star shortstop five times, and he was named the American League MVP
in 1950, when he peaked with a .324 average and 200 hits. Rizzuto played on
nine pennant winners and seven World Champions over his 13-year career. He was
one of the most skillful bunters of all time. A long-time Yankee broadcaster
known for his exclamation, "Holy cow!" Rizzuto saw his uniform #10 retired
by the club in 1985. He entered the Hall of Fame in 1994. Lightly creased
with some edge wear. Small authenticating label in lower left corner. Otherwise,
fine condition.
