It’s a sad day. The Arizona Diamondbacks announced Joe Garagiola has died at 90. A great baseball ambassador who did more to promote the game than most everyone else who played it, Mr. Garagiola was a legend on many fronts. He was the voice of NBC’s Game of the Week. He hosted the Tonight Show. He was honored by the Hall of Fame for winning the Ford Frick Award for broadcasting. He was a funny, nice and pleasant guy who had time for everyone in his path
And he would light up any room he entered. Including the Giants’ clubhouse.
