Phil Rizzuto? Now there's one heck of a great italian guy!
Didn't he used to do commercials for some loan company?
And didn't he announce games for the Yankees or the Brooklyn Dodgers back
when the Dodgers were still playing in Brooklyn?

As Archie Bunker would say: "Those were the days!"

(And you knew who you were then, goils was goils, and men was men, mista we
could use a man like Herburt Hoova again! Didn't need no welfare state,
everybody pulled his weight, gee old lang syne we'd celebrate, those were
the days!)
