Many baseball fans know that Rizzutto, just 5"6' and 160 pounds, was a diminutive player who overcame his size to beome a five-time All-Star, the 1950 American League MVP, and that he helped the Yankees win seven world series titles during his 13-year career. Casual fans may say Scooter was playing over his head and had a great cast of teammates that would make any average player look better. However, DeVito reveals in Scooter: The Biography of Phil Ruzzutto that size never defined Rizzutto.
