Two legendary Baseball Personalities lost in as many days.  :cry

These things always seem to go in threes, so who's next? (Knows who he's afraid for, but fears jinxing him)

Ah, I forgot about Adenhart. Never heard of him until he got killed, so he slipped my mind (sorry to say).

I watched his last game. Threw a gem. Lot of potential.

We lost longtime Tigers TV Announcer (with Al Kaline) George Kell three weeks ago.   There's a 4th.
