Captain Hemlock

Watching the Super Bowl pregame festivities, Don Shula needs to be considered for 2021.

Because Cleveland baseball players aren't that popular in the U.K.

Joan Jara, who's on my main team should have a year of birth of 1927, not 1957.

Former Iron Maiden lead singer Paul Di’Anno announces a “final” concert https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/iron-maiden-paul-dianno-farewell-concert-939100/amp/

M.C. Beaton also appears on a list (as a joker) but she died December 30, 2019.

Bill Macy is also listed. He died back in October.

Very nice job by the new triumvirate! The only disappointment for you is that Maude Apatow does not seem to have been selected this year

I'm surprised Kerry Fraser didn't make the list.

Awesome work! I added wikipedia links when I submitted my lists. Hopefully that helped.

Don Larsen, who pitched the only perfect game in World Series history dead at 90. https://es.pn/2QFf1aO

1. Dave Mustaine-Megadeth lead man is not that close to death based on recent photographs 2. Eddie Van Halen-Conflicting reports on his health 3. Nichelle Nichols-conflicting reports on her health 4. J. Stuart Hunter-American statistician who will struggle to get a US obit, let alone a UK one. He doesn't even have a wikipedia page 5. Oskar Lindblom-Hockey player with Ewings sarcoma. This usually isn't fatal within 1 year 6. David Stern-Former NBA commissioner had two brain surgeries but seems to be stable. 7. Dickey Betts-Allman Brothers guitarist in similar situation to David Stern

If you picked Maude Apatow as your joker, that would be very bad food poisoning.

Since it's after midnight in the UK, I will reveal my 3 lists. I'm more of a casual player on here than most, so feel free to mock my picks.

On a personal level for me, Tim Conway.

I know Davy Jones of The Monkees died on February 29, so I'm going to say it's a musician.

I'm agreeing with the sentiments expressed here. I also predict that there will be a major death on February 29, just because.

Spade Cooley's future wife is on the market: https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/christina-hendricks-files-for-divorce/ar-AAK6yTF?ocid=spartandhp

DDP QO for Ruckelshaus: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7732735/Ruckelshaus-defied-Nixon-Watergate-firing-dies.html

Gahan Wilson was on my shortlist. Key word there is WAS

Add Leah Chase to List of the Missed. I played her on my theme team Die You On The Bayou a few years back. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-7095873/Legendary-Queen-Creole-Cuisine-Leah-Chase-dies-96.html

You really have 3 deaths in 2019 on your list. Number 57 Lyndon LaRouche passed away earlier this year.

Also a slight correction while going through my theme team: Dan Quayle’s DOB is 4 February 1947 not 4 September 1947

It's great seeing the bios getting added. Wow! Some awesome picks by everyone. I noticed that two teams seem to be theme teams but are not designated as such: The Fat Lady's Singing appears to be all opera singers and The South Shall Rise Again appears to be people from the Southern Hemisphere.

Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band is one who could burn me. I came very close to picking him. Others I considered were Thad Cochran, Kathleen Blanco, Ady Barkan, Koku Istambulova, and Jon Huntsman.
