Earl Weaver passed away. He was the Orioles manager in their heyday. They were the 1st sports team I followed and the Earl of Baltimore never failed to put on a good show. I miss those days  :(

Truly a type of manager who is extinct these days, especially in his dealings with the press. His flip outs were awesome. Always found it weird, almost perverse that after all those years of being so close, but never winning a World Series after '70, they win one in Joe Altobelli's first year.

     **  Stan the man Musial also died today. Uh oh, since "they go in threes" I'm thinking that either Tommy Lasorda or Willie Mays should probably get their things in order.

This reminds me that I actually have a ball autographed by Musial that my dad got way back when.

I just saw this too. I am sorry to hear about both Earl Weaver and Stan Musial passing away.

Well, isn't Yogi Berra older than either Mays or Lasorda?  And in show business, how is that Clint Eastwood is 82 and Mickey Rooney is even alive?  Wasn't Rooney acting (as a child, but still) in the 30's whereas Eastwood was a handsome young kid in the early 60's? 

Could it be a portal?  ;D

       Yes, he is older than both.
      And I forgot he was alive(88 in May..if). Sorry, Yogi.

Awwww, man. What a classy, classy guy. I'd look to Yogi.

      And unlike his contemporaries like Ted Williams and Joe D, Musial was actually an exemplary person off the ballfield.

       Though, Ted Williams would have been better off being raised by wolves than the parents he was stuck with, so his deficiencies do have a root cause.

Yeah, The Splinter and The Clipper were specifically in mind when I spoke about Musial's grace and dignity. Williams and DiMaggio were such small, alienated and angry men off the field; DiMaggio apparently warped by fame and Williams by, I dunno, birth perhaps. They were unlike Musial, who was truly a man in full, a decent middle American who had the maturity and self-control to have succeeded at anything he set his mind to.

As an Oriole fan, I grew to hate the Pirates for many years. I mean c'mon, they did it twice !?!?

Reports out that Mickey Rourke died in a snowboarding accident this morning.  Can't say I'm astonished; he led a pretty high-risk life, didn't he?

Well, now it appears that Mickey Rourke is NOT dead; instead, it was an English footballer named Miki Rouque who died.  Thanks internet rumor-mongerers....

that sounds like a similar case that Noory nearly got fooled by a few weeks ago when a Larry L. King died, and Noory's daughter though it was the ex-CNN talk show host Larry King...

Speaking as one who was repulsed by Mickey Rourke back when he still resembled a human, and who simply has no words to describe the immense loathing with which the creature known by that name fills him today, I can only say, "What a shame."

Mickey Rourke has those fake cheekbones in his face.

I worry what the aliens think of us, I really do.

i can see why women do all of this plastic surgery butchery to themselves, but when men do it, i find that difficult to understand.

Dr Drew Kevorkian getting rid of Z-list celebrities one at a time. Vince McMahon has a clearer conscience.

I was thinking just yesterday about the huge number of people from his show who have since died. He doesn't have the greatest success record. That's for sure.

Much preferred it when he and Adam Corolla were just the Loveline guys. Then The Man Show happened and it was all downhill from there.

Never heard of her but apparently she's had four suicide attempts, possibly five, since 2000. Once while pregnant and the father of the child suicided last year. Whoa.

        Totally harmless back then, no messianic moralizing for profit. Just a late night goofy show.

             Speaking of suicide attempts, Carolla rejected the role on the Stern show that went to Artie Lange in 2001

I think it's four "celebrities" dead since 2011, but that number is sure to rise. I guess going on that show is a prerequisite to croaking in LA.
