I remember him more for his work on NBC and World Series broadcasts. Me, too. I think we're showing our age...
RIP, Joe. Prayers up for the family and friends.

He wasn’t even the best catcher in his neighborhood. He grew up on the same street as Yogi Berra who died last September at 90.

An icon in the baseball world, not because of his batting and fielding average, but just an all around good guy who brought colorful commentary to the sport. He was the brunt of a Dean Martin roast in the 70’s. Fun stuff. RIP Joe G.
To: PallMal
Rest in peace, Joe, you were one of the good ones. Thanks for all of the great memories.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. By the mercy of God, may he rest in peace. Amen. +

That just leaves Vin Scully as the last of the great announcers.

RIP. Always liked watching him on Saturday afternoons on NBC with Vin Scully. Was an occasional treat when they would do the odd Montreal Expos game back then.

On top of everything else, he was also a very good and amiable game show host. I remember him from Sale of the Century back in the early 70's. RIP Joe.
