I was all set to post Rizzoto's WW, I was certain it wouldn't be in your article!
As usual Mick you surprised me!
So I'll tell you the first time I heard Phil use WW: it was waaaaay back in the '70s and he was b'casting a laugher with Bill White (not sure who was blowing out who) on WPIX channel 11, who carried the Yankees for like 140 games (pre-cable, sigh). Bill White was the perfect foil for Rizzuto, listening to them was like listening to 2 older uncles speak of life. Anyways...someone comes to bat & White sez something like "Scooter, what does your scorecard say about his last at bat?" And Rizzutto sez "WW." White asks "WW??? What is that??" And Rizzuto answers "Wasn't watching."
I have never heard a man laugh so hard in my life as I heard Bill White laugh for the next 3 minutes.
