I knew who he was thanks to Seinfeld

[Monochrome Rainbow]

He's the guy who does the baseball sound clip in Paradise By The Dashboard Light!

[heyrabbit]

I dunno who he was either. why does everyone say holy cow? did he coin that phrase or something?

 

I thought I'd seen every seinfeld episode...

[beerman37]

Holy Cow was his catchphrase while announcing Yankees games. He is the baseball announcer talking in Meatloaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light".....he says it there ("Safe at third. Holy Cow! Stolen Base!")

 

he also used to do commercials years ago for the Money Store (Hi! !I'm Phil Rizzuto for The Money Store!")

[Lauren]

he's famous for saying what he's thinking as he thinks it... i can't think of an example.

I loved those money store commercials. He was a great player, he was amazing in the broadcast booth. Raising a glass.
