Denver Broncos running back Damien Nash, dead at 24.
Fearsome Foursome lineman Lamar Lundy, 71.
Art Dealer Robert Noortman, 60.
Alt-country guitarist Kirk Rundstrom, 38.
I’m afraid to look; how many of them did you have?
Just two – Lundy’s worth only 29 points…
Wait, did he ever write the second half of his autobiography?!?
Doesn’t look like it.
Krap. I had Schlesinger (and Molly Ivins) on my first list a few years back. Wish I’d thought of him this year, since he would have made my “old fogie” list.
Clem Labine, who compiled a 77-56 record while saving 96 games during his thirteen seasons as a Major League Baseball pitcher, has died at the age of 80. Labine spent most of his career with the Dodgers, helping the club to its only World Series championship (1955) as a Brooklyn-based team, as well as the 1959 title it won after moving to Los Angeles.
Curiously Joseph E. Gallo, 87, the estranged brother who left Wine for Cheese, died last month.
No he didn’t, unfortunately. He was one of my favorite people. I’m still not sure, but I believe he coined the phrase “in a world they never made.” I haven’t found any use before his, in the first Age of Roosevelt volume.
