Bridget, the 18-year-old African lion known for her 'mini-mane' died Wednesday at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden. SC

Carl Scheib made his major league debut on Sept. 6, 1943, relieving against the Yankees in the ninth inning of an 11-4 loss. He was 16 years, 8 months and 5 days old. In all, he got into six games that year, all in relief. Scheib made his major league debut with the Athletics on Sept. 6, 1943, relieving against the Yankees in the ninth inning of an 11-4 loss. He pitched for the A’s in all or parts of 11 seasons, but when he died on March 24 in San Antonio at 91, Scheib was most remembered for having been the youngest player in American League history. In fact, he was the youngest in all of modern Major League Baseball history when he pitched his first game for the A’s. But that distinction was erased when Joe Nuxhall pitched one-third of an inning for the National League’s Cincinnati Reds in his major league debut on June 10, 1944, at the age of 15 years, 316 days. (Nuxhall went on to a long major league career, mostly with the Reds.) SC

Susan Anspach, the radiant and rebellious actress who personified the 1960s-into-the-’70s counterculture in films like “Five Easy Pieces” and “Blume in Love,” as well as in the stage musical “Hair,” died on Monday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 75. The cause was coronary failure. SC

Watch your grandfather get the family barbecue under way. Grandma: "Well don't just sit there, grab the BBQ sauce and a brush and GET OUT THERE!"

We are reporting shingles? Will 'sniffles' be next?

On The Tim and Beanie Show on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus on Monday, former Ohio State running back Chris "Beanie" Wells revealed he has been suffering from the symptoms of a "traumatic brain injury." Wells, who started working for the station talking about the Buckeyes a few years after he retired from the NFL, had been absent from the show in recent weeks. Monday, he returned to the show and explained that it was his health that had been keeping him off the airwaves. Wells, 29, said he was experiencing headaches, "forgetting the littlest things" and also suffering from issues with his speech. He said he normally stumbles over words and talks with quick pace, but over the past six or seven months he was having problems picking out his words and was pausing longer than normal in conversation, and he found it "alarming." He added that he is "not out of the woods yet" and he is "hopeful" that his condition will continue to improve. Sounds like he has safely a couple years to go. But also less than 5. Not good....dude's only 29. A freebie for your 2022 DPs SC (Edit: Also add former Eagles/49ers RB Charlie Garner (45) to the CTE mix. Garner revealed he's suffering from symptoms that certainly sound like CTE -- memory loss, sensitivity to bright lights, headaches, mood swings -- and although he hasn't officially been diagnosed with CTE, he said he's very concerned about his health. "I don't have all my faculties anymore. It scares the heck out of me.")

It's cuz those pesky Hawaiians keep re-electing them. When a voter pulls the lever for an ill candidate, it's like pulling the switch for an electric chair!

RIP -- he was the GOAT, period. SirC

Wow....that's quite a huge name, that. He was the king of darts when I played all the time. RIP Mr. Bristow.

Don't think I've told this one. One of my cousins from Belgium was in NY and had interviewed for a job with (now I've forgotten the company) on the 93rd floor of Tower 1. There was a second interview where it was down to her and another lady. The other lady got the job, and started that week. Coulda been my cousin. So whoever it was was working their 2nd day at the office. SC

Oh sure 70% of you have blocked Sir C. But the other 30%....not a single 'like'? I know there's a conspiracy. I thought we were all friends, this makes Sir C all melancholy and shit.

FTR we all die from that. Road Rules #1: Do not cut off or interfere in any manner with a funeral procession.

Non-dramatic Finland will experience some awful event between now and May 1, 2018.

A charismatic award winner danced out of the audience and onto the stage to collect his prize - before dropping down DEAD seconds later. 53-year old Vishnu Pandey had a heart attack on stage as he was collecting an award at a bash for travel agents. SC
