MLB Network will profile Garagiola on Sunday's installment of "The Sounds of Baseball" at 8:00pm ET (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 8/7).
"People want to relax after work and enjoy three hours of a game. We just can’t do that no more. We’re doing it, but in an eerie and different way. It’s pretty somber to not enjoy all the excitement and build-up of a game" -- Chase Field tamale vendor Rey Cota, on not being able to sell his homemade products at games due to COVID-19 (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 8/7).
