Somehow we missed this guy's deat for baidaho.

Herb Hash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

[Herb Hash died of a stroke on May 20, 2008 in Culpeper, Virginia, with his death announced by Red Sox commentators Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo during play versus the Kansas City Royals. At the time of his death, at the age of 97, Hash had been recognized as the fourth-oldest living former major league ballplayer, and the second oldest former Red Sox player.

Ex-Yankee Bobby Murcer. (38 points)
Somebody MUST have had Tony Snow (47 points).
And heart surgeon Michael DeBakey (one point).

Wikipedia is amazing. Fox just broke in on the baseball telecast to annunce Murcer's death, and I immediately went to Wikipedia to verify his age, and his death was already posted there.

It's fascinating to read the wikipedia monthly death list (search wiki /deaths (month)(year)/. Entries like this:

"""Fyodor Uglov, 103, Russian oldest practicing surgeon in the world"""

DR: "I have good news and bad news"
PATIENT: "What's the bad news?"
DR: "The surgeon who was going to operate on you has died."
PATIENT: "What's the good news?"
DR: "He was 103 years old."

Sorry, jtur, but nobody had Snow or Murcer.

Jo Stafford. 10 points. The first singer that made my hug my pillow.
