What a huckleberry of a day

Phil Rizzuto, Hall of Fame shortstop for the Yankees of the '40s and '50s and a tri-state area sportscasting icon, has died. I'm working on a tribute to the Scooter's TV work for tomorrow's paper, but in the meantime, two links: a YouTube clip of one of his very awkward commercials for The Money Store, and the Amazon page for O Holy Cow, the very funny, very sweet collection of the Scooter's "poetry" (really just things Phil said during Yankee broadcasts, put into verse).
