Well said H3. Thanks for sharing your memories.
From MLB.com Rizzuto's playing and broadcasting careers were in contrast with each other. As a player, Rizzuto had the reputation for being an alert, heads-up competitor with keen baseball instincts that eventually earned him a place in the Hall of Fame. Behind the microphone, he was at times oblivious to the events on the field; nevertheless, his lack of polish as an announcer was ignored by generations of Yankees fans who accepted his eccentricities the way family members do an amusing relative. Holy Cow...you ain't kiddin'

Throughout the 80's and early 90's, the Yankees were awful. Listening to the Scooter and Tom Seaver go back and forth was the only reason to turn on the games.
