On March 23, 2016: Former baseball player who later became baseball announcer and two time Today Show co-host and even a game show host Joe Garagiola died at the age of 90. He got mentioned in about 4 Peanuts comic strips:
* Two in 1969 - Onewhere Schroeder orders a new piano to replace the one devoured by the KITE EATING TREE after Lucy threw the piano in it (This was rerun in 2005 and again recently in 2016); and later in the same year during an arc where Charlie Brown, Linus, and Snoopy take part in a sports banquet but Joe Schlabotnik who was invited didn't show up (If Universal Uclick reruns the 1969 Peanuts Sports Banquet arc, would the strip mentioning Joe G. be skipped?).
* One in 1976 - During the time of Snoopy's broken foot where Peppermint Patty and Marcie were considering a baseball trade involving Snoopy, Peppermint Patty once said to Marcie "I could have traded you for Joe Garagiola".
* One in 1982 - Where during an arc where the baseball field was temporary shut down and Sally writes to a baseball commissioner or something like that, but she misspell's Joe G's name!

Actually, Sally was writing directly to Joe "Garagiagiariolia", not the commissioner (Bowie Kuhn?) or anybody that important. And she also wrote to Joe "Dimagiagiaggio" :)
