Yankee fans in NEPA are taking a moment today to remember the great Phil Rizzuto, who passed away one year ago today. If you grew up in the '70s or '80s, you never saw him play, but his work as a broadcaster made it feel like he was part of the family each summer. He was the A.L. MVP in 1950 and was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994. Today, ironically, is also the anniversary of the death of great Mickey Mantle, who passed away on Aug. 13, 1995. Hope these two great Yankees are having a nice catch today at that big "Field of Dreams" in the sky.
