AHEM It’s a three-way tie for last.
Elden Auker, who believed himself to be the last surviving Major League Baseball veteran who had pitched to Babe Ruth, has died at the age of 95. Auker won 130 games in his big-league career, including 18 for the 1935 Tigers who brought Detroit its first World Series championship.
Nobody picked Auker.
Believe me, there are more than 3 of us at 0.
Noted scientist James Van Allen has died at 91.
Tell me about it.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
77 points!
Is it morally wrong to be so stoked at such macabre pointage?
Discuss.

oh my!! poor fellow
Joe Rosenthal, whose 1945 photo of the flag-raising on the island of Iwo Jima served as the inspiration for the Marine Corps War Memorial near Arlington National Cemetery, has died at the age of 94.
Shirley, I credited Rachm for Susan Butcher. He’s in second place.
Nobody picked Mike Douglas, Bruno Kirby, Joe Rosenthal, Alfredo Stroessner, Yasuo Takei, Bob Thaves, or James Van Allen.
am I the only who, upon seeing this thread come up in my subscriptions, says “oy! who died now?”
Heck, I’m not even in the game, but I have to check it whenever I see it on the front page! I need to keep my reputation as the person in the office who knows first when somebody dies.
Every single freakin’ time. Save me a window seat if you get to Hell before me.
