[mpcincal]

Found out today that Joe Buttitta, who called Angel games in 1982-84, had recently passed away. He was also the KTLA Channel 5 sports anchor when he did the Angel games.

Found out through this link tweeted from the local news station in Santa Barbara County, where Buttitta's son, also named Joe, is a morning news show host.

Is it in poor taste to make fun of his name?

I mean RIP, obviously. But come on. His name was Joe.
