One of those baseball players from my youth, the kind you never forget, despite a thoroughly unremarkable career has died.    The man with professional sports' greatest hairdos,  RIP Oscar Gamble.


OG was one of my favorite players from the South Side Hit Men. Do you remember the "Sox Supporters" from the LF bleachers?

After that season they traded Oscar Gamble and Ritchie Zisk and picked up Bobby Bonds.

Anyway, the supporters came up with a sign for 1978 that said:

WE TOOK A GAMBLE TO GET RICH, BUT NOW WE'RE PUTTING OUR MONEY IN BONDS

I'll never forget that (obviously).

Leave Don Money out of this!

Seriously, that was good trade for the Sox when picked him up (and L. Hoyt) for Bucky F'ing Dent.

RIP Jim Stillwagon - In his time with Ohio State, Stillwagon was a three-year starter and helped the Buckeyes go undefeated in their 1968 National Championship-winning season. In addition, the defensive tackle was a consensus All-American selection in both his junior and senior seasons

 .In 1970, Stillwagon won the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy; he was the first to win both in the same year.

Your post makes me feel like I am getting closer to home. I am just 3-blocks from the cemetery. One of these days I'll have to buy me some new digs.

RIP Art Bell.  I will now have the theme to 'Coast to Coast AM' in my head all day.   He was certainly one of a kind. I like how the headliners are taking liberties with this:  "Art Bell's cause of death is unclear",  or "Art Bell dies on Friday the 13th."     I think the chupacabra got him.

As a kid one of the backsteps I always had was my radio. On sleep shortened, late enough nights it was Coast To Coast and Bell's voice that kept me company while opening quite an underground world. I still remember peculiar episodes about missing time, traveling to the center of the earth, the Mothman, and Stanley Kubrick's theorized involvement in the moon landings. And his episodes in the post Sept 11th attacks were gold.
Credit him for the mainstream momentum behind X Files, Ancient Aliens, etc.

His show was perfect to discover in the 90s (as a teen).  The bumper music, his tone, the callers and guests.  It was entertaining/enlightening, whether you treated it totally above board, or a total display of paranoia.

Harry Anderson.   Not really sure if Night Court has aged well or not, haven't really seen it in awhile.

I dimly recall an old not very good joke about an older guy's morning routine:

"Each morning, I read the obituaries.  If I'm not in'em, I get up and go about my day.".

Young folks don't pay much attention to such things.
