According to Joe, Yogi once said about his (Joe's) golf game, you play better when you don't play.

Default Great piece Dan!

Met him at my very first red sox game at Fenway on September 1st, 1976 when I was seven. Was with my parents and my dad spotted him in the stands when we were walking to our $7 (yes, $7) box seats prior to the game; my dad said "Hey Joe, how's Barbara Walters?!?!" He replied "She's a six million dollar woman!" (I believe she had just signed a big contract with nbc although I doubt it was that much--the six million dollar man was a popular show back then so he was just being funny). My dad and I still talk about this meeting even to this day and we both remember his line verbatim; he also signed my program for me on the cover which has a great shot of a 37 year old yaz. What's ironic is Joe was only 50 that day, just three years older than I am now. How time #%÷& flies!!!

Edited to add: For those who bothered to read what I wrote, I was wrong--found the program and ticket from the game and the ticket price was $5, not $7 so even better--not bad for a box seat to a day game that only 19,130 people attended!

Default Many memories.......

..........listening to Joe Garagiola and Tony Kubek (among others) on t.v. announcing the "Game of the Week". Sad to hear of his passing. He was a member of the 1946 W.S. Champion Cardinals..........R.I.P.

My only Joe Garagiola baseball card:

I have always been a big fan of Joe Garagiola. Not only did I enjoy his work as a broadcaster, but I also had great respect for his work for the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.)
