The Fink.

Yeah, apparently Jim Ross and Vince McMahon were his friends.

Don't doubt it. He's been part of the WWE/F I believe going back to the time of Hogan, Piper and "Rock and Wrestling" to the present

Mary Pratt, pitcher for the Rockford Peaches and Kenosha Comets passed away at 101, last surviving member of the original Rockford Peaches.

For those not understanding if you have ever seen "A League of their Own" it was actually based on true events. 1943 saw the end of MLB because of WW2 so they made an all female league....

cool thing here is when she went to the Comets she had 21 wins and a No-no

Another actor/comedian, Fred Willard.

Also, Phyllis George, former Miss America and one of the first female NFL broadcasters.

Former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard.

If the reports I've seen are correct, he and a group of swimmers (including his son) were apparently caught in a rip current while at Venice Beach on Sunday. When rescuers came to help he told rescuers to save his son before him. He then was caught in a wave and never surfaced. His body was found early Wednesday morning.

Aww... so sad; this year is worse than last year now.

Comics writer/editor Denny O'Neil.

Sir Ian Holm, actor. Most recently known for playing the elder version of Bilbo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films.

Joel Schumacher, director.

Despite the infamy he gained with his Batman films and his adaptation of Phantom of the Opera, he was also the director behind Falling Down, St. Elmo's Fire and The Lost Boys among others.

I always felt bad for Joel Schumacher for the hate he got for the Batman films. He thought he was making Batman fun again. Lost Boys and Falling Down are pretty awesome movies.
