Rizzuto received the nickname "Scooter" while in the minor leagues, from fellow infielder Billy Hitchcock, who later managed in the Majors. Hitchcock took note of Rizzuto's short legs and said, "You ain't runnin', you're scootin.'"

The nickname scooter was given to him during his childhood days. Remember Casey Stengel told him he was too small to play and for him to get a shoeshine kit.
