SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Joe Garagiola played for four big league organizations in the 1940s and 50's, but the D-backs considered him as part of their family.
Garagiola, who passed away Wednesday at the age of 90, came to the D-backs late in his career and broadcasted games from 1998-2012.
"Joe was one-of-a-kind and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know him and his family," D-backs managing general partner Ken Kendrick said. "His sense of humor certainly stood out to all of us, but perhaps more importantly, the mark he left in the community around him will carry on his legacy for generations to come.
