In 1977, Meat Loaf released an album called ‘Bat Out Of Hell’. I have since bought the CD of same, and I was comparing liner notes with my original LP. In the song ‘Paradice By The Dashboard Light’, New York Yankee hall of famer is heard giving baseball play by play as Meat Loaf tries to go ‘all the way’ with the female adversary in the song. In the liner notes, he mentions the Scooter thusly: ‘Baseball play by play Phil (Scooter) Rizzuto (all star Yankee shortstop and voice of the New York Yankees.’ My question: Did Rizzuto sit in a studio and record for this song, or, was real play by play taken from a Yankee game that Rizzuto broadcast? ---
