That was a point of contention between the two, actually. Caray claimed he'd used it on the air first; Rizzuto claimed he'd always used the phrase on-air and off because he didn't cuss.
It's a good thing neither of them tried "How about that!" on the air because Mel Allen would've been Mighty Disappointed In Them. I can't see Allen being anything beyond "disappointed", he was such a congenial fellow.
