Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 5, 2016 After this day 225 years ago Mozart went shopping no more, aged 35. I'm missing the pun but it's all good. I love Mozart but figured someone posted before I could get here.I see some composer named Karl Amadeus Hartmann died this same day -- 53 years ago -- the closest that Karl ever got to Wolfgang. Sticking with the fine arts, Claude Monet - 90 years Emil Fuchs, brief owner of the Boston Braves (and Babe Ruth just prior to retirement), and let's face it a good excuse to write the name Fuchs with sophomoric humour - 55 years. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 10, 2016 Where to begin---though I see it's begun already. Let's not forget Alfred Nobel got the prize of death - 120 years ago Luigi Pirandello would win a Nobel Prize (literature) - 80 years Pitching great Walter Johnson - 70 years (same day as Runyon) And has it really been 14 years since we lost Ian MacNaughton?
