Justice Stevens (retired) of the Supreme Court? Just heard…
He kept all but one point for himself. Good for him.
Johnny Clegg is free to dance across the sea of time. Thanks for your music, rest in peace.
Some of us pick up 34 points.
Charles levin died at 70.
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!
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.
Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote a vigorous dissent.
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.
Andrew21 and SpoilerVirgin each get a point for Stevens.

Elijah “Pumpsie” Green, the first black player on the Boston Red Sox, has died. He was 85.
Green was called up during the 1959 season and played 4 seasons with Boston. The Red Sox were the last pre-expansion MLB team to integrate.
Former New York Football Giant Mitch Petrus has died at age 32. According to Pulaski County Coroner Gerone Hobbs, the cause of death was heatstroke.
It was said that one should not speak ill of the dead; John Tanton, founder of racist and nativist zombie groups that regained strength thanks to Trump and like minded Republicans, is dead at 85.
…Good.
I was unable to attend the funeral, but I sent ahead a pleasant letter saying that I approved of it.
(I had thought this to be SLClemmens, but it appears to have originated with one Eb Rockwood Hoar – and the deceased in question was an Abolitionist, so, maybe not the best line to use here, unless one might be striving for irony.)
Activist and journalist Paul Krassner, dead at 87.
Carmine Caridi, best known for playing Carmine Rosato in The Godfather: Part II, died back on May 28th. Don’t know if anybody here had him(I get 15 points for him in the Themed Death Pool game).
David Hedison, takes final “Voyage”-age 92.
Art Neville of The Neville Brothers, dead at age 81.
Christopher Kraft, Jr., Director of Flight Operations for the Apollo missions.
Professional boxer Maxim Dadashev was beaten by a TKO from the Grim Reaper Tuesday morning, and the fight was called in the 28th round.
Translation: boxer Maxim Dadashev dies after succumbing to injuries sustained during a match Friday night. He was 28.
Clearly was hanging in there for the 50th anniversary commemoration.
