Great player. Offensively, I'd almost say he was to Raines what Raines was to Henderson; defensively, obviously much more versatile than either.

sort of a proto-zobrist

Proto-Zobrist almost sounds like some kind of political faction in Israel.

do the quotes mean that is NOT Jose Lind?
that is jose lind, but fair to use quotes around "pittsburgh pirates" in the mid-80s

One that resonates. Grew up with Joe, Gowdy, and Kubek. (That's how I remember it, although if I actually checked back, maybe the three of them weren't together all that long.)

JG did a pregame show, it was usu Gowdy & Kubek in the booth in the '70s on NBC

My memories of the Game of the Week were Joe and Kubek to start with, then after a few years it was Joe and Vin, with Tony and the rookie Bob Costas doing the B game, or the 2nd game on the rare doubleheader Saturdays.
RIP JoeGaryJoe – that's what my wife's mother called him. He fought the good fight against players' tobacco use but didn't live to see it eliminated onfield entirely.

A belated RIP to Charlie Williams, who died Jan. 27, 2015, four days after Ernie Banks. Just stumbled over him when I was looking up something to do with Willie Mays; Williams (+ $50,000) was the only guy ever traded for Mays, in the '72 deal that brought Mays to the Mets.
