From the article:

“Rizzuto, better known today for a mention in the movie Billy Madison than his actual playing career, was a first baseman for the New York Yankees in the 1940s and 1950s.”

Everybody’s allowed a careless mistake or two, but it’s tough to take anybody seriously if they don’t even know Rizzuto was a shortstop. Heck, all I did during that era was hate the Yankees, and even I knew he played short. And that’s partly relevant because his slash line would be anemic for a first-baseman, but not that awful for a shortstop with a good glove.

Phil Rizzuto was a first baseman?

Yeah. And Mickey Mantle was a pitcher.

And Yogi Berra was a shortstop.

Luis Aparicio ... now there was a Shortstop!

I think Rizzuto is best known for being on Meatloaf’s Paradise by the Dashboard Light. (I knew him for be a Yankee announcer.)
