“Front Row Joe” is going, going, gone.
Joe Rowe — who earned that nickname because of his familiar seat at Daytona (Fla.) Tortugas minor-league games — has ended his 21-year streak of perfect attendance after 1,439 home games.
“I just thought it was time,” Rowe, 61, told the Daytona Beach News-Journal. “I’ll be back, I just don’t know when. I’m looking forward to doing something else with my time.”
