Just noticed this and forgive me for my America-centric correction. Sioux City is in Iowa, Sioux Falls is the one in South Dakota.

Frank Caprio just rang the bell. I don’t think he’s going anywhere for a while. https://nypost.com/2024/05/26/us-news/massachusetts-tv-judge-frank-caprio-rings-bell-after-final-radiation-treatment-after-cancer-diagnosis/amp/

Apparently Shi Ping is a widower. His wife died in…1935!

MMMDP Form Guide #11 John Astin The creepy and kooky patriarch of La Famille Addams (that’s French, I wish Tish would have said that) is now a spry 94 and the sole surviving member of said family. Mr Astin hails from the US city of Baltimore, proving once and for all, that a diet of greasy crab cakes and Natty Boh beer are the true secrets of longevity.

Pullman is the one who’s still alive.

Somewhat surprised that Jim Otto wasn’t picked. There are a lot more obscure NFL players who were picked.

Ouch. Two in one week.

One week- zero deaths - that’s even worse

Not that @max_bossettishould be nervous but Frank Field at least puts me a bit closer.

Former Houston Astros relief pitching prospect Ronny García was killed in a motorcycle accident. Daily Mail has an obit. They seem to cover a lot of obscure MLB players and he didn’t even make it to the Major Leagues. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/mlb/article-13331431/amp/Houston-Astros-mourn-death-Ronny-Garcia-car-accident.html
