	Maybe you should add another option to these baseball fans who can't
	watch the Yankees with Phil Rizzuto on the air. Simply watch another
	game or don't watch  at all. I agree wholeheartedly with everything
	you say; and anyone out there who doesn't, well; this turn is for
	the Yanks; you'll get yours. Phil should be in the HALL!
