Joe Garagiola

Tomorrow is Major League baseball's opening day, the first day of the 2023 season. On the first day of a 162 game schedule, every team is in first place. Any team can win the world series. And a batter can hit /400, and a picture can have a no-hitter. The world is full of possibilities . On the Opening Day roster for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1946 was a rookie catcher named Joe Garageola. That year Joe played in his first, and only, World Series. He was a major leaguer for nine seasons, playing for the Cardinals, the Pirates, the Cubs, and the Giants. But after his retirement from the game, Joe Garagiola found another career in which he had much greater success.
