Classic Yankees great Phil "The Scooter" Rizzuto (no relation, thank god, to Scooter Libby) passed away today at the age of 89. An amazing player and popular and hilarious broadcaster (HOLY COW!), Rizutto was the oldest living Hall of Famer and will be missed by his countless fans and all his broadcasting colleagues.

In 2009 Curtis Granderson published a book: All You Can Be: Dream It, Draw It, Become It! Granderson "shares the lessons that he learned growing up--the importance of family and choosing the right friends, the power of listening and staying positive, and most important, the value of being yourself."
