George puts his keys on the table. On the ring is a miniature head, clearly a caricature of someone.
JERRY: What is that?
GEORGE: Ahh, Steinbrenner gave 'em to us, in honor of Phil Rizzuto being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

HEAD: Holy cow!
JERRY: They don't actually have to squeeze his head to get him to say 'holy cow', do they?
GEORGE: Just the last few innings of a double-header.
Kramer enters...
George squeezes the miniature head again.
HEAD: Holy cow!
KRAMER: Well, look at that. A talking Nixon.
I couldn't resist posting this. I mean what were the chances... :)
Perhaps it was Milo Hamilton incognito?
No doubt, it belongs to The Scooter. And Meatloaf used a live recording of one of his "Holy Cow's" in a song.
