Joe Garagiola, who parlayed nine major league seasons into an eight-decade career as a baseball player, broadcaster and advocate, died Wednesday. In 2012, he was honored by the Catholic Community Foundation of the Diocese of Phoenix, receiving its inaugural Legacy Award at its 24th Annual Crosier Gala for his tireless help and generosity with the St. Peter's Mission School on the Gila River Reservation. He was signed by legendary baseball executive Branch Rickey at the age of 16, and made his major-league debut with the Cardinals on May26, 1946. And no one questioned that assertion. In lieu of flowers, the Garagiolafamily has asked that donations be made to B.A.T. Garagiola was known for many things, including being a baseball announcer for more than 30. He was 90. After leaving NBC in 1988, Garagiola became the commentator for the California Angels and Diamondbacks until retiring from broadcasting in 2013. No, he probably didn't, but some folks suspect Garagiola was responsible for some of what Yogi didn't say.

During the fall campaign, the Republican National Committee hired Garagiola to do a series of television ads with Ford, with Garagiola talking to Ford in a relaxed, informal setting. The Arizona Diamondbacks say Garagiola died Wednesday, March 23, 2016. "I said, 'How's it going, Yog?'" Garagiola was known around the globe as a baseball announcer for more than 30 years and member of the broadcasters' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame, but he was much more, arenaissance man of sorts.
