I’m so sorry for his family and friends. He was quite popular with the fans, quite charming. It’s the journeymen like him who are the real stars of baseball.
I was reading the SF Chronic, and the article about Joe mentions that he bred pugs and gave the puppies away.
That choked me up. Pug people are about the nicest people; the dog is an ego extension, and anyone who loves pugs tends to be as sweet natured as their dogs.
