Dolores, the list I had was the order in which they died, in case anyone was interested.
Baker - I realize it’s more work for you, but could you also do a list of deadies no one had? So we don’t put them on our 2015 lists. (it’s okay if you don’t want to)
Here you go …
A bit late, but Jim Brosnan, MLB player from the 1950s and 60s, and author of The Long Season and Pennant Race, died on June 28 at the age of 84.
Thx!
Eileen Ford, who co-founded Ford Models with her husband Jerry in 1946 – essentially inventing the modern modeling business, and exerting enormous influence on the world’s views of human beauty – has died at 92.
I admit I am new to this game, but I read the instructions before submitting my list, and am wondering if my entry of Bob Hastings (7 December 2013 list, post #67, “The Celebrity Death Pool 2014”) isn’t counted because maybe I posted a link that wasn’t from Wikipedia? Here’s the Wikipedia page. Otherwise, what did I miss in the rules?
See, this is why I have to make the occasional post like I did. You do indeed have Hastings, a unique pick by the way, and he is worth 11 points. I could have sworn I’d checked all those names.
So you go from a tie for 29th place to sole possession of 24th place.
Charlie Haden, Influential Jazz Bassist, Is Dead at 76
Harry Potter villain Dave Legeno has died aged 50 while hiking in Death Valley in California.
Tommy Ramone, Ramones Drummer, Dies at 65
I can post 'em; just can’t pick 'em.
So have we achieved a Ramones reunion?
Hal Briston has a unique pick with Tommy Ramone.

Well crap. My first hit in two years, and it’s the one I least wanted to score on.
I’ll post about this again next Saturday, but from Sunday, July 20th, to Saturday, July 26, I will be away from home on vacation.
A alot of motels/hotels have a free use computer, so I’ll try to keep an eye on the DP, but I won’t be able to update any needed changes until I return.
God, I need to get away from my job, it’s driving me nuts.
Where’re ya goin’?
I like the way Baker needs to explain why she needs a vacation and to explain how she won’t be able to update the game while she’s gone.
Baker, you do a great job. Go! Take some time off. Relax and recharge and have a great time. 
Look what it did to that poor kid in The Sixth Sense.
Oh, I like the DeathMistress gig, it’s the job that’s paying me that is driving me batty!
This is where I am going.
