Rest in Peace Bob ‘The Bombardier from Baton Rouge’ Pettit 🕊️
Yvan Montgury, The Gravedigger
The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame mourns the passing of Bob Pettit, a sleek, skilled big man who revolutionized the forward position during his career. The 11-time NBA All-Star and 2-time MVP retired as the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and left an enduring legacy. He led the St. Louis Hawks to the 1958 NBA championship over the Boston Celtics. The Basketball Hall of Fame salutes this true giant of the game.

The " Scooter " Phil Rizzuto born OTD in 1917. Hall of Fame shortstop for @Yankees who played on many Yankees World Championship teams & was AL MVP in 1950! Broadcast Yankee games for 40 years & also should be in the Broadcaster's Wing of the Hall of Fame! @sigg20 @AndyFurmanFSR

"I thought I was pretty hot stuff."
Wilt Chamberlain.
In 1954 before his senior year of high school, Wilt Chamberlain worked as a bellhop at "Kutsher’s Country Club", a Jewish resort in the Catskill Mountains.
By day he was making $2 an hour, getting great tips from the awestruck guests as he lifted their luggage through a second floor window while standing outside on the ground.
At night Wilt played on the Kutsher’s basketball team, coached hard by the resort’s, "Athletic Director", Red Auerbach.

"For a guy who spent most of his career as a first base man and never really had anything to do with pitching, Gil Hodges showed a greater understanding of pitchers than any manager I've ever worked under." Ron Kline.

"Rizzuto, who always referred to everyone by their last name, said to me:
"Hey, Kaat!
I’m going to the men's room.
Cover for me."
And off he went.
I had never done play-by-play before. Producer Don Carney asked me over the headset:
"Where’s Rizzuto?"
I said:
"He went to the bathroom."
I heard Don sigh and I knew in that moment that Rizzuto wasn't in the bathroom.
He had gone outside, grabbed a cab, and went back to the hotel because it was too darn cold.
Jim Kaat.
