Whitehouse 820 Posted July 1, 2013 Bit late, it was last Wednesday, but Justin Miller died at only 35. Obits everywhere. He was responsible for the implementation of the Miller rule, named after him, which told pitchers were mandated to wear long sleeves. He was heavily tattooed and batters were distracted by them.

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,447 Posted October 4, 2013 I guess pogonophobes should give Fenway Park a wide berth this post-season. The Sox just batted around in the 4th and I think all nine had impressive facial fuzz. They should re-sign Johnny Damon. Bit sad we don't have a beards thread, frankly.

Death Impends 7,361 Posted November 22, 2013 Was a lock on mine, I felt that his role in handling the whole A-Rod scandal + the fact he was the position's incumbent giving his death a "current event" aspect meant that his demise would at least get a passing mention in a UK article.
