Hey Guys

If Rizzuto lied about his age, in order to give the impression that he was younger back in 1940....it didn't
work on the first two tries. He tried out for the Dodgers and Leo Durocher (Mgr) laughed at him.
He also tried out (I think) for the Braves and Casey Stengel (Mgr) told him he was too small and to young.

Let's get some actual confirmation on this "lying bit"....just because some NY newspaper says it's so, does
not make it true.
