I picked the wrong New York baseball team.
John Karlen has died at 86. Those are 14 points I’d rather not have.
Karlen was amazing in his role as Willie Loomis, the miscreant who made the deadly mistake of opening a chained coffin looking for the Collins family jewels. Thank you John. You were awesome. RIP.

Hey Death Shroom, did you miss me on the list of teams? (Looks like I was between two posts from the same player.)
I’ll take the lead back, thank you very much.
Yep, just heard on Nascar Race Hub, John Andretti died today Jan 30 at 56 year of age
Sorry about that, you are back in the mix…

Anyone have an issue with adding The Librarian to the mix? It is a repeat list from last year…
Only if they win.
Phungi, could you put breaks in the list of the results? It’s hard to understand them as a string.
Something like this:

3 Bayaker - 14 1(1) - The Mary Tyler Moore Show Universe

I have no problem.
