There's no crying in baseball! Or funerals!

 

A member of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League that was immortalized in the 1992 film "A League of Their Own" has died. Lucille "Lou" Richards was 90.

Jon Richards tells The Associated Press that his mother died May 20 at the Cape Royal Nursing and Rehab Facility in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. He says she died of complications from hydrocephalus.

She was a shortstop for the Racine Belles and the South Bend Blue Sox in 1945 as part of the first women's professional baseball league.

Former Major League All-Star Jim Hickman, died Saturday. He was 79 and in hospice care..

After six years in the minors Hickman, whose nickname was "Gentleman Jim," became an original member of the New York Mets in 1962.

After five seasons in New York, Hickman went to the Los Angeles Dodgers (1968), Chicago Cubs (1968-73) and St. Louis Cardinals (1974).

He was named an All-Star in 1970 when he hit .312 with 32 home runs and 100 RBIs.

In the All-Star game Hickman drove in Pete Rose in a famous play where Rose steamrolled catcher Ray Fosse at the plate.

I must disagree Mr. Creepy. I'm not at all concerned with "posting before anyone else", only maybe picking up a useful morsel or two about an impending death. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Nah, you're not. Not all of us are raging hyper competitive weirdos. :) Most of us are just weird, death obsessed whackjobs with lives. Jobs. Kids. Extra curricular activities. Dogs. Cats. Gardens. Cross country commutes. Etc.

I thought we were mentalists who like lists. Lover of list making, the minutiae of a hobby (rap or racing or pro-wrestling, etc), and possessing a sense of gallows humour - the hattrick for the average deadpooler, imho.

Well, I'm a data analyst by trade so I do confess to a strange love of orderly columns and rows of numbers.
