Alternate title: Yes, I'm still going to hell, only now much faster...
Phil Rizzuto has passed away. The man who made the phrase, "Holy Cow it's a hit!" a part of the baseball lexicon has shuffled off this mortal coil. Rest in Peace, Phil. You're one Yankee I couldn't hate.
Even taking those insipid "Money Store" commercials into account...

Sorry Jay . . . Phil copied the "Holy Cow" from the late, great Harry Caray. Check your history.
Go Yanks!!!
Phil and my grandfather played ball together way back when. Grandpa got out cause he had a family to raise and needed to earn a living. Phil kept playing and finally, after getting out of baseball, was able to earn some decent cash.
But it wasn't easy in those early days.
He was a good man.
Brad,
While I'm aware that Harry Caray was the first to use the "Holy Cow" expression, Phil Rizzuto brought it into the collective conscious. Frex, it was Rizzuto's voice, not Caray's, on Meatloaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights"...
Countertop,
I'll ignore that little bit of blasphemy... :)
