It's difficult for me to write about O Holy Cow! because the sheer brilliance of this volume of poetry completely disarmed me. The editors have discovered a gold mine of "found poetry" in the wordsmithing of New York Yankees baseball announcer Phil Rizzuto. Long considered one of the finest talkers in the game, Tom Peyer and Hart Seely have found that with proper arrangement on the page, Rizzuo's words become modern verse to rival our finest contemporary bards. I'll just let this short selection whet your appetite for the poetic feast that awaits:
F.Y.I. A little high. Two balls. No strikes.
Riverview Medical Center Is down the Jersey shore.
Three balls No strikes.
Product Description:
Hall of Fame shortstop and Yankees broadcaster extraordinaire, the incomparable Phil Rizutto (1917-2007) waxed poetic on America's favorite pastime from the glorious days of Mantle and Maris well into the reign of Jeter and Rivera. For more than a quarter century the Bard of the Booth captured great moments in baseball—and effortlessly interwove them with essential and often hilarious insights into the human condition.
In loving commemoration and celebration of the life and career of an exceptional Man of Baseball, this new edition of O Holy Cow! includes a new foreword by baseball legend Bobby Murcer, a new poem written by editors Tom Peyer and Hart Seely, and more than sixty additional never-before-published masterworks of short, impromptu verse that capture the unmistakable voice of the unforgettable Rizzuto.

- Keats, Byron, and now, Rizzuto
This literary gem is destined to be handed down from parent to child for generations to come.
Long before there was politics, or correctness, there was Phil Rizzuto. Rizzuto ably scoops up the essense of morality and ethics and fires to first with more deftness than Shakespeare, or that guy from Ireland (I can't remember his name--not Joyce, though; it was somebody else.) The poem we always relate and remember around the old campfire--when we go camping, and we have a fire, is the ... Read More
Rating: - can gorillas swim?
Some people are good at laying down sacrifice bunts, and some people are good at poetry. But nowadays so few people excel at both. Phil Rizzuto is that rare double-threat, and that's why this book is essential for anyone who likes bunts or poems.
My only complaint is that the editors have left out my all-time favorite Rizzuto moment, which was the time circa 1980 when Rizzuto and Frank Messer spent part of a day game discussing whether or not gorillas can swim. The answer proved elusive, ... Read More

- Fun, for a while.
Even though it's a short book, a little bit goes a long way with this kind of thing. Use in moderation.
Plus, I miss Bill White's good-natured chuckling.
Still, these "poems" are pretty good at bringing back long-gone hot summer nights.
Rating: - who knew?
In the late 1970s, when the Mets really hit the skids and the Yankees got good again, it became necessary, if you were a kid in the Tri- State
area, to at least watch the Yankees, perhaps even to grudgingly root for them. Forced into this spiritually untenable position, I chose to only
root for the scrubs, which made Cliff Johnson my favorite player. I'll never forget the game where he tagged a pitch and Phil Rizzuto started
screaming that : "That one's outta here", bringing joy to ... Read More
Rating: - A Wonderful Tribute
For me, nothing better epitomizes my age of baseball innocence than falling in love with the WPIX broadcasts of Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer and Bill White during the late 1970s. This offbeat collection of the Scooter's unintentional poetry in his broadcasts is a graphic illustration of why Rizzuto was a true joy in the broadcast booth even if he wasn't a professional in the Mel Allen-Red Barber mold. I loved the format so much that I've actually reviewed the hundreds of old Yankee radio and telecast ... Read More
