Description

Printed form letter signed in ballpoint, "Phil 'Scooter' Rizzuto," one page, 8 x 10.75, New York Yankees letterhead, no date. A synopsis of Rizzuto's career, in part: "Dear Fan, I was very lucky to spend my entire playing career with the New York Yankees from 1941 to 1956. My rookie season was memorable as I batted .307 and Joe DiMaggio hit in 56 consecutive games. We then went on to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series four games to one. Holy Cow! I played seven years with Joe DiMaggio and six with Mickey Mantle. They were both great ball players. It was also a real thrill for me to call Roger Maris's 61st home run, Holy Cow!" Matted with a portrait of Rizzuto with DiMaggio to an overall size of 22 x 16.75. In very fine condition.
