I second the motion.  Rizzuto is an out & out homer.  At least his
broadcasting partner (Bill White) can keep a level head.  I've no
doubt that Phil calls 'em as he see 'em --- it just that he uses his
heart, not his eyes, to watch the game.  One can be rabidly enthusiastic 
about one's team without letting it distort your reporting (e.g. Harry
Caray).
