The country’s biggest ball park is now the home of baseball's greatest little ball player Phil Rizzuto, a little shrimp of a player alongside such big brawny fellows as Joe DiMaggio, Charles Keller, Bill Dickey, Red Ruffing and other Yankee stalwarts, has won the hearts of Yankee fans in just four Rames at home. He's the darling of Yankee Stadium Whatever he does, little Phil does, it In such a way that makes you white Sox and the Athletics staged keep your eye on him.
