Well, in 2003 I tried to predict the plane crashes of two NBA teams, apparently to no avail, so for 2004 I will choose the national pastime as my incubator of death.
“9. Boog Powell”
Man, you really know how to hurt a guy. Boog Powell? Hell, man, why not Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer, or Al Bumbrey while you’re at it?
Pass me another Natty Bo.
So Mullinator, are you picking a plane carrying former Twins to go down this year?
My contributions to this sick contest…
The 85+:
The "Live Fast, Die Young (Or Middle Aged):
6. Courtney Love–losing custody of Frances Bean might push her over the edge
7. Scott Weiland
8. Andy Dick
9. David Crosby
They’re still here?
10. Richard Pryor
11. Keith Richards
12. Tug McGraw
Whatever happened to?
13. Gordie Howe
Okay, I’m going to give it another shot this year, and I’m starting out with one who has out-lived my previous guesses!
I’ll admit, I’ve got some really wild card picks in there. Sid Caesar actually does seem to be in fairly good health but is in his 80s for certain. Goldie, I hope this won’t hold true, but your name just popped into my head! LOL thank goodness I don’t have real telepathic powers.
1 Milan Kundera
2 Lemmy Kilmister
3 Leonard Nimoy
4 William Shatner
5 Bill Ward
6 Dennis Rodman
7 Bobby Fischer
8 Lee Iacocca
9 Mikhail Gorbachev
10 Christopher Lee
11 Jennifer Aniston
12 Karen Allen
13 Anne Rice
For the most part I just wanted to come up with some names others had not done yet. I mean how many people can do the Pope or Jackson? That gets old after awhile. Then I noticed that near the end of my list I didn’t have any women on there so I had to choose some. I don’t think I picked all that great of a list, but at least I have some differences then most people.
OK, first time I’ve tried this:
I’ll be surprised if they both survive 2004:
Ronald Reagan
Pope John Paul II
I’d hate to miss out on these points:
Saddam Hussein
Couple of old ballplayers with health ailments:
Ron Santo
Tug McGraw
Random Guesses:
Kurt Vonnegut
Jim Bakker
Roger Ebert
Polly Holliday
Dick Smothers
David Crosby
Bobby Goldsboro
Shocker of the year
John Popper
Keep drinking the Natty Bo and you might as well be dead. 
Hmm, hadn’t noticed the frequency.
Although, it would probably be Bud Selig’s dream to have the current Twins go down so as to eliminate a successful, small market team that flies in the face of his unlevel playing field theory.
Heart Attacks Waiting to Happen:
Really Old Guys:
Not Looking So Good:
Random Long-shot
Keep drinking the Natty Bo and you might as well be dead.
Yep - maybe we should sneak some to Peter Angelos.
I hate to break this to you fruitbat, but Sam Walton died on April 5th, 1992.
And now…on with the show.
This just looks like good clean fun to me 
And I’ll list it in the way vunderbob suggested, just in case the foresight of bonus points get the better of you people.
Disease/Old Age/Infirmity
Violence/Suicide
6. Scott Peterson (prison “accident”)
7. Saddam Hussein
8. Yassar Arafat
9. Micheal Jackson (Suicide)
10. 50 cent
Accidental/Misadventure
11. Leonardo DiCaprio
12. Quentin Tarantino
13. Johnny Galecki (Loooongshot. The left-over Healy brother from Roseanne)
