- Here are five moments in Yankee baseball history as called by long-time television and radio announcer Phil Rizzuto:
5) Final out of Phil Niekro's 300th career victory on October 6, 1985
4) Ron Guidry's record 18th strikeout in a single game on June 17, 1978
3) Don Mattingly's record matching eighth consecutive game with a home run on July 18, 1987
2) Chris Chambliss' 9th inning home run to win the pennant on October 14, 1976
1) Roger Maris' record breaking 61st home run on October 1, 1961
There is nothing I miss more than the Yankees and Phil Rizzuto, it makes me realize how old I am, but I'd leave it again in a minute
Phil Rizzuto is the reason why I’m a Yankee fan today. I grew up watching and listening to his broadcasts as a kid.
Likewise. He was a treasure.
I grew up being forced to watch him here in Southern New England because of WPIX-11 but I knew at an early age the difference between good and bad announcing and so glad I never choose to be a Yankee fan.
You can tell he really loved baseball. My grandma wouldn't watch a game unless he was announcing. When I broke the news to her when he retired, it was like a family member died. She told me she learned English listening to him.
On WPIX
Same here. Thanks for sharing these memories. His money store commercials were fun also. Great memories.
Bill White, Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto on Channel 11 in New York in the 1980's when I was a kid. Sometimes the Scooter would leave the game early to beat the traffic on the GWB.
Yes, a have a few of their radio broadcasts on tape/CD from around that time. I like the broadcasts then.
The Three Stooges on WPIX-11.
My favorite was “Holy cow, I think he’s gonna make it!”
the Scooter's a legend! whether you're a Yankee fan or not
those were the days, close to all games on free tv.
What made the scooter a great player and announcer was the love and respect he showed to everybody.
Definitely
That 76 Chambliss call is burned in my memory, I preferred watching WPIX coverage of the playoffs, a significant moment in Yankee history.
Same. My Bronx neighborhood exploded with joy when it happened.
Love that man. When I would watch Yankees games and he was the announcer.... I felt like I was watching the game with my grandpa!
Such a genuine man! Salt of the earth!
I loved his relationship with Tom Seaver.
I miss them both. Great great New York baseball legends!
AFAIC (As far as I'm concerned), Phil Rizzuto and the Yankees were made for one another.
That's a complement, isn't it?
@@torrjpct9492 It sure is!
I hate Michael Kaye. Phil will always be the announcer in my mind.
Posting at 5pm et on 3-30-23. The Yankees shut out the Giants to open the season about an hour ago. Whenever the Yankees win, their current announcer John Sterling, crows, "THE YANKEES WIN," making sure to emphasize each word. Hope the Yanks at least reach the World Series this year. Many knowledgeable people are predicting it.
Phil Rizzuto calling games with Bill White. What memories! He was crafted from a one and done mold.........
Boy is he missed by all.
My Dad Bill and his brother Frank, played sandlot ball with Phil, when they were teenagers. The park, Farmers Oval, in Glendale, NY, is still there, folks.
How is Glendale, NY, now? Is it in a good or bad neighborhood?
Ironically, your relatives' names are the same as two of Rizzuto's broadcast partners: Bill (White) and Frank (Messer).
@@torrjpct9492 Glendale is gentrifying, now. Many of the old businesses and restaurants are now gone. Lots of the old folks are still here, though. My Dad and Uncle did have the first names of great Yankee announcers, that much is true.
Did you know my father Buddy Merkle?
Holy Cow!
Loved Scooter and Bill together.
OH MAN IS THE SCOOTER MISSED! HE MADE GROWING UP A YANKEE FAN A BETTER EXPERIENCE !
I was blessed to grow up a Yankee fan and hear Phil Rizzuto on channel 11. He was awesome.
Holy Cow! What A Way To End It! And My Personal Favorite Holy Cow! He Did It!
honorable mentions to "thats gone, mr. october just hit one 9 miles" after reggie hit an upper deck shot in the 81 playoffs, and "thats where that big butt pays off" after cecil fielder homered, presumably he meant to say bat, butt was distracted by the size of something rounding the bases. i'd wager it was nearly 200 times he said "what a play by nettles!"
Here's the play at the plate. Hoy Cow, I think he's gonna make it.
The best!
The scooter an all time baseball classic an icon of the game !! Holy cow is right Phil !!! RIP your Legend Sir !! The voice of the NY Yankees !!! The best was watching Donny Baseball running the bases after he hit his 9th home run in 9 straight games !! I remember watching that game !! Mattingly was my hero as a kid !! Another Yankee Legend!! What a great video
Here’s number 6....1970....Tony Horton of the Indians vs the Yankees’ Steve Hamilton and his “Folly Fliater” at The Stadium...RIP SCOOTER
I had a Phil Rizzuto key chain. It fell into a hole and got covered with asphalt. Now every time a car drives over the patch you can hear it say, "Holy Cow."
You should get a jackhammer and try to get it out, careful not to hit any sewer pipes!
@@mrlego611 "That's true." :)
How about that fan, coming out of the stands to congratulate Roger Maris, as he rounded 3rd. Can you imagine a fan trying that today?
Great calls! I miss the Scooter
How does this only have 18k
learned about him and his trademark "holy cow" from Seinfeld!
Holy cannoli! (Phil loved them).
And wishing people a happy birthday - especially during a pop fly.
One of a kind
“There’s a real pressure cooker goon’ on out here!”
The Maris call is the best
This is a makeshift compilation, as you can see by the variation of video and/or audio quality of the different highlights. The Maris HR did come out the best here, and probably is the best call.
he was the best - period
Holy 🐄 ! The Scooter 💪
What about his outbursts when a Yankee player botched up a bunt?
"I taught that huckleberry how to bunt!"
"They give you a piece of lasagna, boy I'll tell ya."
He wasn't joking though. The Yankees used to use him as a special instructor during spring training. He really did get mad when they screwed up a bunt. He was one of the best bunters in baseball.
Those were cool and all but what about the call from the Meatloaf song?
Holy Cow! I still remember the Big 3, Rizzuto, Allen, and Barber, announcing games when I was a kid growing up in Astoria. Three totally different personalities...Phil, the Scooter; Mel the Attorney (yes, he graduated from U. of Alabama School of Law), and Red, the Old Philosopher. Mel and Red were from the Deep South and Phil was from Brooklyn.
Also during the late 1950s and early 1960s, Allen and Rizzuto would work the broadcast alone during away games that were televised because Barber worked only home games. The two would switch between radio and TV, and as a result would not be on together at any point.
RIP Meatloaf 1-21-22
I remember listening to some radio program with Dad in the early 50's. "It's ______________, .....with Phil Rizutto!!" what's the missing part??
It was "It's Sports Time with Phil Rizzuto," but he didn't broadcast until later in the 1950s.
Its too bad he wasn't on the call, for Bucky's homer off Torrez at Fenway; that would have been something, but Bill White did a good job with that
How about Phil's call in the song "Paradise by the Dash Board Lights" ?
Actually, I heard that song on the radio in the car last weekend.
"think that's gonna get outta here!!...nope he caught it..."
wait a Minute you left out Paradise by the Dashboard Light!!!
“OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here. Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth. There's the windup and there it is, a line shot up the middle. Look at him go, this boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now. He's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second.
“The ball is bobbled out in center. And here comes the throw, and what a throw. He's gonna slide in head-first. Here he comes -- he's out. No, wait, safe, safe at second base! This kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate. Here's the pitch and he's going, and what a jump he's got. He's trying for third. Here's the throw -- it's in the dirt, safe at third. Holy cow, stolen base!
“He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring them to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up and it's bunted. Bunted down the third-base line. The suicide squeeze is on. Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close. Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate. Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!”

That huckleberry!!
Who came here after watching Seinfeld episode The Pothole?
Do they have to squeeze his head to get him to say holy cow?
I thought I've heard about a Seinfeld episode with a Rizzuto doll or something that had that type of mechanism.
You forgot meatloafs song dashboard lights ,
Need to put all his calls,...and chatter into some computer sodtware and have AI recreate him for today's games.
...or for a video game. The person playing can select which all-time announcer(s) they want, and the play-by-play would sound like that voice.
@@torrjpct9492 great idea!
Mantle's 500th.
Actually, that was Jerry Coleman on WPIX TV for the call of Mantle's 500th. Either Rizzuto or Joe Garagiolla did it on radio, but I don't know.
@@torrjpct9492 Garagiola on radio: "Here's the payoff pitch from Miller to Mantle--swung on--there she goes, there she goes!" Joe's call of Mickey's homer was on a record given away at a twi-nignt doubleheader a few months later in August '67, the second game lasting 20 innings. "Holy Cow" LOL
@@Hank13665 Yes; since I wrote that reply I've heard the full radio broadcast of that game on CZcams, but thanks.
Now they have a woman announcer. How far the sport has fallen
