Playing 13 years for the Yanks, "Scooter" went to the World
Series in 10 of those seasons. That stat may best explain why the
diminutive shortstop is regarded as a true Yankee legend. He was a
durable, outstanding shortstop, skilled bunter and enthusiastic
baserunner with a solid .273 lifetime batting average. In 1950
Rizzuto earned the A.L. MVP Award, batting .324 with 200 hits, 92
bases on balls, and 125 runs scored. He batted .320 in the 1951
World Series and was named Series' MVP. Spent 40 years as a Yankee
broadcaster (1957-96). Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1995.
