March 17, 201610 yr comment_723899 Tyll, this is just a random thought, but have you ever thought of writing a piece on the Genesis of the hobby. You are the only person who could do it justice. Report

He was such an easy going guy with a great announcing voice and so many interesting stories, but he never made anything about him. It was always about the game. RIP, Joe.
