The next stop for Geppi’s Memorabilia Road Show’s display of selected items
from the highly publicized collection of the Hall of Famer and New York Yankees
great Phil Rizzuto is this weekend’s Atlantique City show in Atlantic City, New
Jersey.

Among the items to be shown at the March 25-25, 2006 show will be
Rizzuto’s 1953 and 1996 World Series rings (representing the magical fifth
consecutive world championship, and Phil’s final year as a broadcaster), an
original Leroy Neiman painting of the Scooter in action at Yankee Stadium (one
of the most valuable pieces of the collection), a game used catcher’s mitt from
Phil’s Hall of Fame teammate Yogi Berra, a platinum record for “Bat Out of Hell”
by Meatloaf, on which Phil’s background voice is featured in one of the hits off
that album, a game used Joe DiMaggio bat, an All-Star bat, and two unique,
“sawed in half” bats, signed by his teammates and by an All-Star
team.

Jim Pratt and Patrick Scholz lead the GMRS contingent.
