I didn’t expect anyone to have him but it gives me an excuse to watch one of my favorite Seinfeld one-off characters again. RIP to The Mohel.

And that one point is mine, all mine! > [@SpoilerVirgin's Death Pool List](#): > > John Paul Stevens Also, I will truly miss Charles Levin. He endeared himself to me as Vera’s husband on _Alice_ and especially as Eddie, the gay character on _Hill Street Blues_ who eventually develops AIDS. Over the years I was always happy to see him make a television appearance. I even saw him live on stage once in a production of _City of Angels_. RIP. ---

Ernie Broglio, the centerpiece of the best trade the Cardinals ever made, and the worst trade by the Cubs, has died at 89. Unfortunately for the Cubs, his right arm died in 1964. ---
