RiP.  Doug Jones.   Great journeyman pitching career.  One of the best repertoire of change ups I've ever seen.  Got a lot of guys out with 45-60 mph pitches.  Played 7 years in minors before he stuck in the show for a long while  Didn't know he went to high school in Lebanon, IN.   When he was on Brewers, the second time,  I remembered him driving an old diesel Mercedes.    

Also, Bill Virdon, 55 NL roy with Cards, longtime Pirate and bespectacled tinted glasses manager thereafter with Houston and others.  He was 90.

Rip Don Shondell.  92.  No person more responsible for the growth and development of volleyball in the Midwest that Shondell.  His roots have grown way beyond Muncie and the State of Indiana.

Thanks for the edit... I was sitting here thinking "Isn't Dave Shondell still Purdue's active WVB HC? I can't even imagine that he's 92!"

Sad to hear regardless...

Either autocorrect or I was too fast and made a slip.   Yeah, Dave is alive and well.    Good dude.  All good dudes.  The coaching tree extending from Don is pretty dang impressive.

Hall of Fame defensive lineman Curley Culp dies at 75

Hall of Fame defensive lineman Curley Culp, who helped the Kansas City Chiefs win their first Super Bowl during a 14-year NFL career,  has died of complications from pancreatic cancer

Culp learned to use his speed and leverage while at Arizona State. He was an All-American in football for the Sun Devils and, standing 6 feet and weighing about 265 pounds, won the heavyweight national championship in wrestling.

RIP OU's ego and LSU's coaching search success.  Have fun with Bill O'Brien or Mark Stoops or whoever.

A dirty secret has been a relatively high number of horse fatalities at this track lately.  Though not really a secret just not widely known

Yep. Fairly well known here in SoCal, even for people not all that close to the horse racing circles. 

But I wouldn't think it's highly known elsewhere, given that the average person doesn't really know much about horse racing outside of the Derby and Breeder's.
