I miss The Star of the Game Show with Joe.. He had infinite patience with Spanish speaking players when they were on even from other teams when the Reds lost. He gave everyone their props no matter who won the game. Sometimes I couldn't understand a word they said and I'm sure Joe didn't either sometimes, but it was still among the best of baseball broadcasting IMO..
