Phil Rizzuto: Selected verse

All taken from game transcripts: Oh man, You talk about having fun broadcasting games. That year, I mean there were home runs every day. There was nothing but a lot of runs. Makes it a lot easier. All right! Here's Lovullo. Torey Luvollo. I've been calling him "Tony." And he pops it up. Friday When I was forced to leave the game after six innings, You now. I almost came back in the 13th inning. Moore. I want you to know I was thinking of Murcer and Seaver there. II I woke up. And it was like, Like a nightmare. I said, "Could the game still be going on?" And sure enough. I started to get dressed. And then the 14th inning came. If it had gone another inning, I'd have been there. All right A big hubbub right in back of the Yankee dugout, Dead center. Telly Savalas! We might have to ask him to put a hat on his head, It's shining up here, Some glare. But that's the thing lately, They say being bald is very sexy. All right, I tell ya. Just about everybody you want to name Will be here tonight. Cary Grant hasn't missed a game Here at Yankee Stadium at the playoffs. Frank Sinatra has been here. And we're ready. Two balls and a strike. You know what they had on TV today, White? Bridge On The Rover Kwai. Everybody should have gotten an Academy Award for that movie. I don't know how many times I've seen it. About forty times. Alec Guinness! William Holden! Three and one count. I just heard somebody whistle. You know that song? That's what they whistle. Nobody out. And he pops it up. One ball, one strike, Two out, two on. The Yankees trail four to one In the bottom of the seventh. Michelle wants to say "Happy Birthday to T-Bone." That's his name: T-Bone. The runner is leading away... Everything is named Walden up there. Yeah. Great poet. Great, great poet... Uh. I gotta think of another one up the --- It really is beautiful country. I could very easily move up there. I was thinking of Greenwich. But I don't have enough money to move to Greenwich. So I might move to Concord. What kind is it? Ohhhhhh! Pepperoni! Holy Cow! What happened? Base hit! A little disconcerting. Smelling that pizza. And trying To do a ballgame. HEYYYYYYYY! THAT'S IT! HOLY COW! HE DID IT! HOLY COW! LOOK AT JESSE BARFIELD! I WANNA TELL YOU! HO HO HO HO! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH! YOU GOT IT MURCER! My heart. My heart won't take it any more. I'm tellin' ya'. HOLY COW! I MEAN, THIS IS AN UNBELIEVABLE FINISH! Are we on the air? We're on the? Hooooooooooooah. WOW! THIS YANKEE CLUB IS SOMETHING! I TELL YA' ATTA BOY, JESSE! (Per Bob Ryan's blog.
