noo yawk
whitey ford and phil rizzuto "couldn't make it." both live in the area.

uh-oh. me worries neither is doing very well. :'( :'( :'(
 
Read a while back that the Scooter moved upstate to live with his daughter. He was selling off a lot of treasures he'd collected over the years in some huge auction.

Ford has been active on the autograph circuit. Maybe he just had something else planned. Or maybe he didn't want to see Ross Moschitto again.

Are they back to not inviting Bouton?
 
Hey, if anyone is at that game....any chance they're going to play?

Heck with that, why didn't they invite me? I had just as good a spring.
 
Rizzuto recently stopped in at our local diner and he is not looking well, and we had heard as much some months before.

Yogi seemed spry, which you can only be after the age of 75 or so.
 
Rizzuto is going to be 89 in September.

And Ford I believe was treated for some form of cancer 5 or 6 years ago.
 
what..........no Mattingly, Pagliarulo, Jesse Barfield, or Mel Hall?
 
Mattingly was there (aside fom being a coach) as were Cone, Strawberry and ....

Ross Moschitto

Kevin Kernan's Post column on the absent Scooter:

I personally don't like seeing old timer's day. Some of those guys shouldn't be out without a helper and that's sad to see.

My first reaction to this very sweet column was that it felt like a premature obit. By the end, however, I just hoped Scooter could read it, or that maybe someone read it to him.

I don't think many teams do them any more. A decade rr so ago there was a sponsor that underwrote one in every ML city, but that fell by the wayside.

Yankees are the only team left that does it.

Too bad. I've got a real hankering to see what Rolando Arrojo and Kevin Stocker are doing at DRays Old Timers Day.
