Yesterday would have been the 104th birthday for New York Yankee great Phil Rizzuto. It got me thinking about an article I wrote nearly two years ago. So I thought it would be appropriate to share it with you again today.
Over the years, the New York Yankees have had hundreds of players who developed special bonds. But none more significant than the love between Phil Rizzuto and Yogi Berra. No, not that kind of love, but love created by similarities, playing together, and a life shared.
Phil Rizzuto was a small man, much like Yogi Berra that may have been what connected them, to begin with.
