R.I.P Thread

Forgot about that one

 

Love her
Initially i thought Miriam Margoyles and I really love her

 

Damn not taggart

 

John Ashton - RIP! As noted above he was in Beverly Hills cop. I remember him in Midnight Run with DeNiro.

 

RIP Dikembe Mutombo - age 58, brain cancer. I can't hear his name without thinking of the finger wag. 2nd all time in blocks behind Olajuwon.

 

Kris Kristofferson. R.I.P.

 

The man accomplished a lot. I got to see him live at a few Banjo and Fiddle competitions in SoCal way way back in the late 60's as an MC and performer. Here's a nice piece about him. Well done Sir. RIP!

Awesome tribute

 

Holy crap I missed his passing. I guess that’s why I haven’t seen him filling up the rolls in a bit

 

RIP Pete Rose. IMO should be in HOF. Hated him in the 70's. I sat at TRS and watched him and his damn Red Machine break my heart in the Playoffs.

 

Frank Fritz, the short bearded Mutt of the Mutt and Jeff guys on American Pickers passed away. He was always on the hunt for classic motorcycles in old barns and warehouses. Enjoyed watching this show and the weird stuff they'd find and how so many of the old hoarders they visited wouldn't part with much of their stuff. RIP. Fun times.

 

Rip

 

James Evans. Dad #1 in the 70s.

 

Wow!!!!
I thought He passed already.
Ah!!!!!! Beastmaster. I wore out a VHS tape of that dang movie when I was about 12. LoL.....Dar.
That's a movie they should remake.

 

Good Times sucked after they killed Him off....IMO

 

Ah T. Roberts. There was a few moments in that movie that I paused enough that made the VHS tape not so good in certain spots. LoL

 

And RIP Sheena who passed at 71 in 2021.

 

Eye roll toward heaven. RIP Fernando Valenzuela. Dodger legend. He won rookie of the year, Cy Young and a WS his very first year.

 

Agree - just saw this and posted in "Other Sports" thread.

 

".....He came from Sonora to Tommy Lasorda's Dodger blue....."
RIP El Toro!

 

While little chance of winning the Cy Young and obviously no chance of being in the WS, there were rookie stat comparisons between Paul Skenes and Fernando - rookie starters in All Star Game, Rookie of the Year (Skenes has one version in the bag already but not the big one yet), plus ERA, strikeout rate etc. Not to mention both bringing an abundance of fans to ballparks around the country, no matter where they pitched.

Some interesting rookie year stat comparisons - noting that while FV pitched in 2 games in 1980, 1981 was considered his rookie year, a MLB strike shortened year:

Games started: FV - 25; PS - 23
Innings pitched: FV - 192 1/3; PS - 133
W/L: FV - 13-7; PS - 11-3
ERA: FV - 2.48; PS - 1.96
K's: FV - 180; PS - 170
K's/Inn: FV - 0.94; PS - 1.28

Of note, FV did have 11 complete games but that was a different pre-analytics era. All in all, Skenes stacks up very well against the great Fernando. for both gentlemen.

 

Just read that TVs Tarzan, Ron Ely died at 86

 

I remember Johnny Weissmuller more as Tarzan. He also won 5 Olympic Gold Medals in swimming. Both were very cool dudes. RIP
