Joe Garagiola Jokes with Milwaukee Braves Players on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@Hank13665]

"Yogi Berra has never seen a World Series game on television." LMAO

[@scarsdale22]

What a great clip! When people were more accessible. Mr Aaron was pure class... and my man Joe G.. I love him because his book “baseball is a funny game” was the first full boom I read in English!

Happy Birthday🎊🎉🎂 to the late great Hank Aaron😀👍🏿😞🙏🏿⚾️ #44

Those were the days!! Little Milwaukee ruled the baseball world! Del Crandall was our coach @ fantasy camp. Great guy!!

The show was done live in New York. This was filmed in the middle of the 1958 World Series between Milwaukee and the New York Yankees. It was a rematch of the 1957 World Series won by Milwaukee in 7 games. Oh, and the Yankees eventually won the 1958 World Series in 7 games. In 1966 the Braves moved to Atlanta.

Joe Garagiola was a good player for a few years. He played for St. Louis in the 1946 World Series. But Joe was a great tv sportscaster. He liked telling funny stories about his lifelong friend, Yogi Berra, who was a Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Yankees.

Whenever I see the 50's braves, especially Eddie Matthews I think, "My grandpa cut that hair. That haircut is evidence of my Grandpa's handiwork." He was the barber for a few of the guys in Milwaukee.

Here Joe was a pretty good major league catcher, so you would think he was the best ball player growing up in his neighborhood. but that honor went to Yogi.

[@thomaswolf723]

Joe signed with the home town Cardinals. Yogi was also ready to sign with the Cardinals but when they were not ready to give Yogi as much as they gave Joe, Yogi signed with the Yankees.

Sadly, Del Crandall is the only one on that stage that is still alive today.

[@jimkelly4286]

Why are you sad when you carry the mark of the devil? It would be sad to normal people.

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

Not anymore. Crandall died May 5, 2021 at the age of 91. After his playing career, he called games for the Chicago White Sox, and later the Milwaukee Brewers.

Joe Garagiola was the recipient of not one but two honors bestowed by the National Baseball Hall Of Fame, the Ford Frick Award (1991) and the Buck O'Neill Award (2014). Three of those Braves players have plaques in Cooperstown: Red Schoendiest, Eddie Mathews and the great Henry Aaron.

[@willminkorea2010]

Joe Garagiola makes a joke about Yogi Berra never "watching" the World Series on tv. That's because Yogi played on some great New York Yankees teams with Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. In Berra's 18 years as a player he was in the World Series 15 times and he was on 10 teams that won it all. All three achievements are records.

[@thomaswolf723]

The only World Series games that Yogi could have watched were in 1948 and 1954.

[@barney6888]

sheesh, looked like Tony Soprano for a second there

[@44032]

Joe did his own comic routine and barely mentioned the Braves players who go no chance to say anything. Why not taLk WITH them?

[@DavidMcdonald-df8tb]

Joe was a bit of a jerk.

[@thomaswolf723]

From what I have read, Joe was very ambitious and eager to promote himself. However, he had a very long and successful career in the media and little negative came out about him. The only exception might be that he and former teammate Stan Musial had a falling out over a business deal late in their lives.
