Golfingboy Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Wrestling fans will remember this guy, Kamala the Ugandan Giant(he was actually American). Dad took me to the Forum in Montreal in 1987, the main event was him against Hulk Hogan. He suffered lots due to diabetes, had a leg amputated among other things, and Covid-19 finally did him in at 70. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Not too many ice hockey fans on here, but those that are will be sad to hear Dale Hawerchuk has passed at only 57, from stomach cancer. Was the #1 pick in the 1981 draft, and still ranks 20th all time with over 1400 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Penevil Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Some of you may have known Khaimook (Mook) who worked at Sapphire and then Queen on LK Metro. She passed away from kidney failure brought on by the chronic disease lupus. Her funeral is today in Pattaya. She was a lovely young lady who seemed to be on track for a better life. She'd saved her money and recently finished a house in Isaan. She's also found a boyfriend with whom she was happy. It's tragic she got struck down so young. 2 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised, he passed on the 31st but I only saw it on ESPN website yesterday. Had COVID-19 and Lew Body Dementia, which Robin Williams also had. He and Walter Johnson only pitchers to retire with 300 wins, 3000 K, and ERA below 3.......that shows how good he was. I stopped playing ball at 16 once I took my first golf lesson, Canada did not a good system for players to advance, very rare to even get an NCAA scholarship. One funny thing I learned Mike, was in my last year, playing left field. The boys were all becoming stronger, with harder pitchers.....though I rarely saw more than 75mph, we had a guy who maybe hit 83 but was wild. Anyway, the other suburb’s player had a rep for power and hits the highest fly ball I ever saw. The only time in my life I had to camp under the ball and wait for apex, follow it down, and make the catch. They make it look so easy on TV, but the reality is, a near miss homer can get very high, and is gaining velocity on the way down. So we should all take it easy on the guy who drops an “easy one” Edited September 4, 2020 by Golfingboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat chance, only hit .290 and if you did not hit .320 or above at the collegiate level, you were not going to get drafted. I too played the outfield and had pretty good "wheels" back in the day. The jump between High School and College is pretty substantial. I am pretty sure I could have taken Roger Clemens deep out of the yard though at Fenway LOL! I was a left handed batter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered how far the steroid guys would have hit with an aluminum bat, if it’s that big of an advantage. I loved wood myself, and purchased a few, the team’s were all aluminum. Anyway, more sad news as Lou Brock, the best base stealer ever before Rickey came along, has passed at 81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
