Sad. The 2020 hits just keep on coming. I didn't see Joe play, but used to listen to him and Jon Miller doing ESPN Sunday Night Baseball as a kid growing up, and being into cards then, I quickly found out who he was around the time of his HOF election. In terms of the hobby I think Joe is an underrated great and could be appreciated more for what he did on the Big Red Machine at the height of their run. RIP sir...
