Joseph Gallo described receiving the book Oh Holy Cow, a collection of Phil Rizzuto's broadcast stories, then losing it in a used bookstore before later retrieving it, noting how the book kept his friend's memory alive.
"
He presents me with a gift. It's a book. And the book is called Oh Holy Cow. And what these two writers have done, they've taken Rizzuto's broadcasts, and they've transcribed them, and they culled and edited them down to the stories that we both loved.
I look down, and I see the copy of Oh Holy Cow. And I am so emotionally exhausted that I do nothing. And I let the book go.
I realize that the book is starting to take on this amazing power, certainly far more than it ever had when it was in a box in my mother's basement. And I thought of it only once in a great while. And I realize that the power stems from the fact that my mother is still alive.
And finally, she finds the book. And she takes it off the shelf. And she looks down at the cover, oh, holy cow. And she smiles. And she opens it up. And she reads the inscription inside aloud. To Joseph, instant stories from the field of dreams. I thought you would enjoy this. Love, AJ.
