Dang. I just flashed back 39 years to me progressively gaining speed clear up to “bookin it” speed while “What a Feeling” played at the skating rink

When I first started watching baseball and collecting cards he was looking like he was 60 years old then. He Seaver, Ryan, Carlton, Jenkins, Sutton were all in tight pursuit of Walter Johnson’s strikeout record.
Perry 314 wins, 3500+ strikeouts,
6th all-time in innings pitched, 8th in strikeouts, 9th in games started, 6th in losses….brother Jim was way over 200 career wins as well

Saw him pitch live at my first Tribe game.
Perry in his career faced Stan Musial and Julio Franco 😁
Musial began playing in 1941 and Franco played until 2007….that’s fun

RIP Gaylord Perry - Here he is talking about how in '64, #SFGiants manager Alvin Dark said that there'd be a man on the Moon before he hit a HR. In '69, just a 1/2 hr. after Apollo 11 landed on the Moon, Perry hit his first HR! #MLB #Baseball #Legend pic.twitter.com/cvbJmGj7cj

Pele has been moved into hospice care since he’s no longer responding to chemo on colon cancer, so the only question now is whether he makes the list in 2022 or 2023.

There's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Looked it up - George Wendt and John Ratzenberger are still kicking, as is obviously May Day Malone.
She actually did have two credits in the last 4 years. And a couple series I never heard of with 10-12 episodes in the last decade or so.
DAMN - Cheers ended back in '93. I guess that's about right, just felt like there was more overlap with Seinfeld timeframe than it was.

Ughhh....sounds like Bruce Willis is in bad shape and deteriorating fairly rapidly.

Can't say I'm shocked. Remember reading the reports a year or so ago about him retiring from movies where it sounded like he has some sort of brain deterioration condition that was all but killing his ability to perform.

Sounds like he can't talk or recognize language. Article I read said his family was hoping for a "Christmas miracle" so it sounds pretty bad.
posted by BR1986FBThat's what I remember reading. Not that he was failing, just trouble speaking and hearing language.Sounds like he can't talk or recognize language.

This story just came out this morning about him deteriorating pretty rapidly.
