Remembered incorrectly by many since it didn’t win the series. The Mets had to come back and win game 7.
Reminds me of the “Miracle on Ice” game for the US men’s Olympic hockey team in 1980. The win against the Soviets wasn’t the gold medal game. The US still had to defeat Finland for the gold.
I misremembered this for decades!
John Pinto, New Mexico Senator and Navajo Code Talker
Murray Gell-Mann, Nobel prize winning physicist who postulated the existence of quarks.
One of the greats of 20th century physics, and that’s saying something.
My mom met him (sort of). She worked as a secretary for a short time at the AEC for someone that Gell-Mann would come in to talk to.
Horror author Dennis Etchison has died at 76.
Former Senate Appropriations chairman Thad Cochran has died aged 81
Another former resident of my list Leon Redbone has died.
Since his official death announcement says he was 127 years old does that mean no points?
31, according to wiki-thingy
Claus von Bulow at 92 will face final judgement.
If I recall correctly, Dennis got a lot of love from Stephen King in Danse Macabre. I read the books mentioned and, no disrespect, none of them affected me anywhere as close as they did King.
DM was also how I found Harlan Ellison, whom I adored, if that matters to anything.
Mr. Redbone was 69 when he stopped jammin’.
You’re thinking in years. eschereal is thinking in points.
I’ve heard of Leon Redbone forever, but can’t think of one song of his I might know.
It looks like he did covers of old-timey songs.
If it helps, Leaffan, he also did the theme song to Mr. Belvedere.
Very sad news. I’ve been a fan since his appearances in the first season of Saturday Night Live in 1976. I own all of his albums and have seen him in person more often than any other performer, perhaps a dozen times.
I’ve spoken to some of musicians he performed with, and they all said he was no different off stage than he was on. People who have met him in real life, for instance, at the Martin guitar factory near his home in Pennsylvania, say the same thing. Was that really him, or was he the greatest performance artist of all time, making his whole life (at least outside the privacy of his own home) a work of art? We’ll never know, and clearly that’s how he wanted it. A true one-of-a-kind, and much missed. The world’s a less happy place without Leon Redbone.
Riddle Films made a short film about him last year, and one of the filmmakers tells me they will probably post it on on their web site later today. They are also working on a longer version.
I’ve never seen an episode of that.
Are you calling Leon a liar? He said he was 127.
In Cool Years, maybe.
“You have no idea,” but Claus Von Bulow is dead at 92.
