Holy Cow Rizzuto Dead at 89


The Scooter has died at age 89 and this is him as a yongster on the left. There is a remarkable similarity between him and one of my loudmouthed fraternity brothers. 5 foot 6, a large mouth, way too damn Italian, the massive nose. The only difference is that through college Conidi got fat. Other than that the similarities are scary. So John if you want to know what you will look like in your eighties, its this.

I don't feel like going on and on about Rizzuto who was a cool part of history for the Yankees, so if you want to read more about him just go here.

According to Conidi, his mother was a better cook than Rizzuto's mother.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
