Barber and Allen both gave Phil Rizzuto a rough time when he began 1957. His rivalry with Mel and later Joe Garagiola got ugly and ended poorly. Barber also struggled with his own broadcast teammates. He was considered by many as simply disagreeable. After the latter occurred, Barber ripped the ballclub on his way out out the door. They include Red’s separation from the Dodgers in 1953 and t hirteen years later in 1966, he was squeezed out by the Yankees.
They were honored together with the Ford Frick Award in 1978 and honored in Cooperstown. These two pioneers were held in such high esteem by fellow broadcasters and baseball people that they were enshrined together, on the Hall of Fame’s first ever ballot.
