Royale with Cheese Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 He was before my time as a player but loved him as an announcer. I thought him and Jon Miller were great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 This really sucks. I had no idea that we lost so many baseball players this year, to include 6 hall of famers. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/baseball_deaths.php?y=2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 RIP to another legend. Only second baseman to win back to back MVP awards. The fact that he did it while on the same team as Bench, Rose and Perez makes it even more remarkable. And who can forget his iconic batting stance, whirling the bat and pumping his elbow: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Wow, can't believe he died. Was he still announcing? Seems like I listened to him due "color" for 1,000 baseball games. He was a great announcer and I guess better player, though slightly before my time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Sad news. Seems like all the players from my youth are passing on. 42 minutes ago, SinceThe70s said: RIP to another legend.

And who can forget his iconic batting stance, whirling the bat and pumping his elbow: The first thing I thought of was the pumping elbow. I have an old Sporting News with him on the cover. Somehow I got my name in that edition as well. RIP Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
