(fade to new scene)




Greg: It seems 2016 is the year of the death. This entire tournament is dedicated to the life and memory of Joe Garagiola, Sr., one of the original hosts of this show back in the early 70s. A man whose love of the game and love of life has surpassed his career. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting him on an episode of this very show, and there is none like him. There will be none like him, either.
