What does everyone else have to say about that? I'd ask for a second opinion.

http://www.azcentral.com/story/entertai ... 2173744/As Joe Garagiola walked through the catacombs of Chase Field in Phoenix, he crossed paths with a newspaper reporter he had not seen in a few years.

“Where have ya been, in the witness-protection program?” Garagiola said.

That was Garagiola. He always was quick with a funny line and rarely forgot a name or a face, especially when it came to his beloved game of baseball.

Garagiola, a Scottsdale resident, died on Wednesday at the age of 90.

I remember Joe when he did the Game of the Week almost 40 years ago. He also worked with Vin Scully. Good guy.
