Kathleen Snavely, the longest-lived person of Irish extraction, [died Monday at the age of 113](http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/kathleen-snavely-oldest-irish-person-in-history-passes-away-at-age-of-113-31357003.html).

Today is the birthday of someone who would make a good patron saint of the Death Pool. I refer, of course, to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, author of _On Death and Dying_, who died in 2004. In complete acceptance of the prospect, one hopes. ---

Raiders QB Ken Stabler [NOT dead](http://www.mercurynews.com/raiders/ci_28460648/raiders-legend-ken-stabler-dead-at-69) at age 69. EDIT: Actually, I’m now seeing a ton of reports that his family is confirming he _is_ dead. Please hold all scorecards until we get this straightened out. (Or not…no one had him, so it really doesn’t matter for DP purposes.) ---

I mentioned Bob Uecker in the Baker’s Dozen thread. And I was sure I remembered hearing about him dying a few years back. But I checked his Wikipedia page and he’s still alive. So who was I thinking of? It’s not Harry Caray or Phil Rizzuto - it was somebody who did more outside of baseball. I’m not really a baseball fan so it was somebody who’d be famous even if you don’t watch baseball games. Is there some other sports announcer who also did occasional acting jobs that died in the last ten years? ---
