Does anyone know how Scooter is doing these days?
When last I heard, he was quite sick and failing to make an appearance at Old Timers days really confirmed this

I also heard that there was an auction of sorts in August, auctioning off Scooters HOF stuff...
Ozgard, if your in the mind to, could you email me sometime? I would like to talk baseball with you

Happy Holidays Katalex.
This is what I got from Wikepedia.
Unable to attend the annual New York Yankees Old Timers Day in 2006 for the first time since he retired as a player, questions were raised about Phil's health. On September 12, 2006, the New York Post revealed that Rizzuto is currently in a "private rehab facility, trying to overcome muscle atrophy and problems with his esophagus."
It doesn't sound too good for scooter.
Happy New year to you.

Since I moved to Florida I haven't kept in touch with all that goes on with the Yankees and the YES channel like I use to. I do know that he turned 90 recently. He was not doing so well for awhile but I hear he's better now.
Bobby Mercer is having brain surgery for a tumor they discovered recently. Met Bobby at an old timer's game a couple of years ago. Very nice guy, very humble. I can see why he's so popular with present and former players and certainly with the fans.
