Have the "Yankees Classic" of Righetti's no-hitter on. It occurred on July 4th, 1983, near the All-Star game, so Phil Rizzuto and Bill White got to jawing about the game.
Bill White: Did you ever play in an all-star game, Phil?
Scooter: Yes, I did. I was in one and I remember Ralph Kiner banged into the scoreboard and broke his elbow.
In fact, Rizzuto was referring to the 1950 All-Star Game, one of five he was named to, in which Kiner hit the game-tying home run in the ninth, and Ted Williams broke his elbow going after a flyball.
Oh, Phil. How much other misinformation did you fill our heads with? And yet, we miss you still.
HE WAS THE BEST.
ReplyDeleteSCOOTER AND WHITE.
THERE WERE MAGIC.
MISS THEM SO MUCH.
And don't forget Frank Messer, ALL-CAPS!
ReplyDeleteFunny, watching that Righetti no-hitter, it was a good crowd at the Stadium, for a game against the Red Sox on the Fourth of July.
ReplyDeleteBut it wasn't a sell-out. And while most stayed to the end, they were much more blasé about the no-hitter part. No one was even standing until there were two out in the ninth.
YES...MESSER WAS 'HOME' TOO, HOSS.
