Great list, Andrew 21, but don’t you want some alternates?
Kanye West?
Why not Jimmie Nicol?
Jimmy Nichol would be a good one. Macca and Kanye did a song together a few years back.
If a player on my list dies before Jan. 1, I will post a revised list. The new player would be one who played the same position as the player he replaces. For example, if Guerrero dies, his replacement will be Eddie Robinson; if Shoendienst dies, his replacement will be Bobby Richardson.

I always feel sad when he pops up on someone list. Yeah – I know. Points thou art and to points thou must return. But rarely does a week go by that I don’t sing either the Vatican Rag or So Long Mom.
Depends on whose list, kopek. The ones on my list are mostly immortal.
That’s why I only chose him as an alternate.
Never knew him by name, but cut my teeth on Dr. Demento, and thus, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park

Do you mean *Angela *Lansbury?
Addition by subtraction - Making America Great Again
Donald Trump - President. Long national nightmare.
Rupert Murdoch - Inspiration for Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg.
Charles G. Koch - Randolph Duke.
David H. Koch - Mortimer Duke.
Steve Bannon - Former White House Chief Strategist. A less-realistic Grima Wormtongue with liver disease.
Mitch McConnell - Kentucky Senator. HORRIBLE human being, passable Testudine.
Mike Pence - Vice President. True believer. Somehow NOT better than the alternative.
Sean Hannity - Fox News personality. Ego that walks like a man. “World’s Most Punchable Face” winner 5 years running. Eats crackers like he owns the place.
Ajit Pai - FCC Chairman. Fucking up the internet because wildly successful companies just aren’t getting rich enough, fast enough, goddammit.
Scott Pruitt - in charge of ruining the EPA, and so, the environment.
ALTERNATES:
James O’Keefe - “Project Veritas” head. In a highly competitive year, “World’s Most Punchable Face” runner-up. Leaves a trail of slime wherever he goes.
Martin Shkreli - Most hated man in healthcare. Bra-VO, sir!
Erik Prince - Blackwater founder. The rumored would-be head of Trump’s rumored would-be secret police. Possible lizard-man.
