Shortstop Phil Rizzuto was an integral part of the New York Yankees teams in the 1940s and 1950s, which won 10 pennants and eight World Series titles. Ted Williams once said, “If the Red Sox would have had Phil, we would have won all those pennants.” Joe DiMaggio claimed Rizzuto “held the team together.” While “Scooter” could handle a bat, notably hitting .324 to win the 1950 American League Most Valuable Player Award, his defense might have been more important. “My best pitch,” teammate Vic Raschi said, “is anything the batter grounds, lines or pops up in the direction of Rizzuto.”
