THE SCOOTER

IN 2007 THE YANKEE FAMILY AND YANKEE FANS LOST A LEGEND.I ONLY REMEMBER HIM AS A BROADCASTER, BUT HE WON 7 WORLD SERIES AND A MVP AWARD.SOME SAY HIS STATS NOT DESERVING OF HALL OF FAME.BUT SOMETIMES THE NUMBERS DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY.YOU DON'T ANCHOR A DEFENSE AND WIN 7 WORLD SERIES WITH A SHORTSTOP WHO CAN'T MAKE THE PLAYS.HE HAD TWO CAREERS ONE AS A HALL OF FAME PLAYER AND ONE IN THE BOOTH.HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THE FACT THAT WITH BASES LOADED ON A 3-2 COUNT HE'S TALKING ABOUT CANNOLIS. UNABASHEDLY AND OPENLY ROOTING FOR THE YANKEES HE WAS A BASEBALL TREASURE.THE PAST FEW YEARS,OLD-TIMERS DAY WAS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HIM.HE WOULD SEND A MESSAGE TO BE READ ON SCOREBOARD SAYING HE WOULD BE WATCHING.THIS YEAR HIS NAME WILL BE READ ON THE LIST OF THOSE WE LOST SINCE LAST OLD-TIMERS DAY.YANKEES HAVE THE MOST HALL OF FAMERS IN HEAVEN TOO....... 25 DAYS TILL PITCHERS AND CATCHERS.....
