I can see by the clock on the wall it’s time for a Joe Garagiola quote:
“Not only was I not the best catcher in the Major Leagues, I wasn’t even the best catcher on my street!”
(Garagiola grew up in a house that was just across the street from Yogi Berra’s house. The two were childhood friends.)
That’s awesome... I can’t imagine what that had to have been like for those two.. if they were indeed around the same age and friends growing up... to ride that wave all the way to the majors together?
Just wow.
