Wow, a lot of people died yesterday.
Normally, I leave these things up to Potch and his Blog 0 Death but I gave him several hours and he seems to be dropping the ball.
BOSTON -- Mark "the Bird" Fidrych, the fun-loving pitcher who baffled hitters for one All-Star season and entertained fans with his antics, was found dead Monday in an apparent accident at his farm. He was 54.
The Bird was a player I loved as a kid. I had started collecting cards in 76, I think that is when I first fell in love with the game. I enjoyed watching what he did on the mound and can't help but think that is why I think most pitchers have something wrong with them.
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - Marilyn Chambers, star of such golden age classics as Behind the Green Door and Insatiable, was found dead Sunday in the mobile home where she had been living for the past several months. She was 56, but would have celebrated her next birthday on April 22. Chambers was found by her daughter, McKenna. No cause of death is yet known, and an autopsy will be performed.
When I was old enough to watch these kinds of films, she was the one that always looked like the she was enjoying what she did. I know nothing of the lives these actors live. I imagine it can't be easy.
WASHINGTON -- Radio and TV broadcaster Harry Kalas, whose baritone delivery and signature "Outta here!" home run calls provided the soundtrack to Philadelphia baseball for nearly four decades, died Monday after collapsing in the broadcast booth before the Phillies' game against the Washington Nationals. He was 73.
This one's voice I know. It's sad when someone touches so many and becomes family passes. Many know the pain of loss in the city of brotherly love today.
