Kiner was different. Kiner stuck to the game and was goofy unintentionally (though he says he made some of those remarks on purpose). Ralph is in a class by himself as far as I'm concerned. <BR/><BR/>Keith, whether he's in it for the bling or not (and I'm not quite sure how you came up with that conclusion), reminds me more of Rizzuto just in terms of how much they talk about stuff that has nothing to do with the game.Metstradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023215480704948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-53555071029496932782007-08-15T09:55:00.000-04:002007-08-15T09:55:00.000-04:00i'm a met fan, have been since 1962, today i am em...i'm a met fan, have been since 1962, today i am emotional. however, kh, is not, nor will he ever be phil rizzuto. your assessment is totally wrong. we have kiner, they had phil. part of the legacy passed today. hernandez doesn't care and is only in it for the bling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-9161943459412840532007-08-15T09:08:00.000-04:002007-08-15T09:08:00.000-04:00Phil Rizzuto was a class act on and off the field....Phil Rizzuto was a class act on and off the field. <BR/><BR/>My brush with Phil was when I was a little boy. I was with my family at the outlets in New Jersey. My Dad and I were waiting for my Mom and Sister outside a store and there was Rizzuto. My Dad and I went up to him just to say hi. He not only said Hi but signed a personalized autograph and struck up a conversation with us. He was also waiting outside the store but for his wife. When she came out he even introduced us to her.How is that for being down to earth? <BR/><BR/>Class acts like that are hard to find nowadays. From this Mets Fan - Phil will be missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
