    Loved watching NBC game of the week with Joe, Tony Kubek, Vin Scully, and Bob Costas. Sat in front of the TV, with the baseball mitt on, just in case...

    Big fan. RIP. Very humble guy, witty, funny, really knew baseball and everyone adored him.

    Here's some great quotes that I remember.

    "I went through baseball as a player to be named later."​

    and Trivia Time: Who was he talking about in this quote:

    "Not only was I not the best catcher in the Major Leagues, I wasn't even the best catcher on my street!"​

    RIP Joe. You were one of my childhood idols. Your wit, humility and grace are qualities that are solely needed now more than ever.
