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.
