From Wrestling Observer:
 
Mickey Garagiola passed away this morning at age 89. He was the longtime television ring announcer for "Wrestling at the Chase" in St. Louis. Mickey's brother Joe was the first commentator for the show on KPLR-TV, and Mickey became the ring voice starting in 1969. He was already a well-known character working as a waiter at Ruggeri's Restaurant, where all of the sports figures in St. Louis hung out. When Larry Matysik became the commentator in 1972, he and Mickey often had relaxed, comical interplay until the program ended in 1983. Mickey's most famous moment might have been mistakenly declaring Ted DiBiase as "the new World Heavyweight Champion" after DiBiase pinned titleholder Harley Race in a tag team match on television. Totally unplanned and unexpected, the resultant uproar and correction helped make the Race-DiBiase rivalry red hot in St. Louis. Behind the scenes, Mickey spent hours of time working with special needs youth and young adults. In the St. Louis area, he was a hugely popular figure who helped keep the image of professional wrestling strong. He often appeared at independent cards or Matysik's book signings in the past few years, and stayed in touch with likes of the late Gene Kiniski, perhaps Mickey's alltime favorite.
