Beloved baseball announcer and former MLB player Joe Garagiola has died at the age of 90, the Arizona Diamondbacks confirmed Wednesday.
Garagiola started broadcasting games for NBC in 1961 and became the familiar play-by-play voice for fans across the country for nearly three decades after. Thanks to his NBC contract, Garagiola served as a frequent panelist on the ‘Today’ show and even guest-hosted ‘The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.’
Garagiola found his niche in broadcasting, calling games for the Cardinals on KMOX Radio from 1955 to 1962, and national broadcasts for NBC. In 1988, he left NBC but continued calling games for the California Angels and Arizona Diamondbacks until his retirement in 2013.
