And another legend bites the dust...RIP Joe. We'll never forget the many years he hosted MLB games on NBC, including World Series games, was on the Today Show for many years, and hosted the original Sale of the Century (long before Jim Perry), a revival of To Tell the Truth, and the short-lived Strike it Rich in 1986. Condolences to his family.
