Reply to "RIP Meatloaf"

I have a pretty cool man-cave with lots of sports memorabilia covering the walls.  One wall is my Wall of Springsteen. There is a large screen TV surrounded by framed concert posters and signed drum skins, photos etc.  One other artist is on the wall.  Bruce shares it with Meat Loaf.  I have his 3 largest hits on Vinyl EPs framed, one on each end of the wall and Bat out of Hell in the middle under the TV.  Under the EP is a signed baseball and a signed baseball bat both are co-signed by Meat Loaf and Hall of Fame Shortstop and long time Yankee announcer, Phil Rizzuto. Phil Rizzutto's nickname happened to be Scooter.

As I'm sure most of you know Phil Rizzuto is the announcer on Paradise by the Dashboard Lights as the young fellow is going around the bases trying to make it to home.  Phil had a very wholesome image and always said he he had no idea what the song meant. However in 2016 Meat Loaf gave an interview that blew Phil's version out of the water. (see below)

Paradise by the Dashboard's Light

You'll be missed Big Guy... Say hi to the Big Man. Make some heavenly music together.
