Instead of senior moment we in the DD household call that a dog moment after decades of watching dogs stroll purposefully stroll into a room then look around in confusion before deciding to demand attention from one of us.
Wish I had a sarsaparilla to drink to his memory.
Center fielder for the '84 World Championship Detroit Tigers team Chet Lemon dead at 70.
30 points to me.
When death gives you lemons
And me!
And my Axe!
(But not my points, 'cause I didn’t get any)
Answer to a quasi-trivia question, being the guy with the most career WAR without getting a single solitary MVP vote in any season (not even when they won it all in 1984), was 7th in the league that year, 2nd on his team to Alan Trammell, 55 total. I even recall him getting a lot of press for 400 putouts that year, but nope, not enough to get onto anyone’s ballot.
Well, a new leader is Mahaloth, by one point.

Congrats to Mahaloth and to Wheelz who was vaulted into 5th.
age 71
One player, SunUp, also got on the board for the first time.
My first points ever.
I’ll have to dig his baseball card out and put it in a place of honor.
Necromancer: And Chet Lemon!
Former SCOTUS Justice, David Souter, dead at age 85.
General Hospital’s Denise Alexander died back on March 5th. She played Dr. Leslie Webber for many years. Not sure why we are just hearing about the death today.
Families of celebrities sometimes want to have private funerals and hold back on announcing the passing of their loved ones. There was another recent example of that, but I cannot remember who it was. The announcement was something like two or three months after the person passed. Kind of fucks up our game if we fail to learn of points until well into the next year.
So who has a wrestler themed list?
For the ease of those checking lists, Sabu’s real name was Terrance Brunk.
