PHIL RIZZUTO (WPIX)
"The one and only Scooter, the greatest shortstop in Yankee history, is in his 36th year of giving viewers the inside word on the Bronx Bombers. Phil's outgoing personality and lively banter have spiced up the Yankees' broadcasts on WPIX since he started the job after ending his brilliant career on the playing field. He never rests while at work and that dedication shows during broadcasts.
Simply put, the Scooter on the air means fun for the fans."
