Lemondropkid Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 R.I.P Niki Lauda, iconic figure for me growing up. "A lot of people criticize Formula 1 as an unnecessary risk. But what would life be like if we only did what is necessary? " 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessongs Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Buckner was great, saw him as a Dodger in LA one game. Sad that he had to live the rest of his life with that one error in the WS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) People in baseball say 3,000 hits guarantees you the Hall of Fame( except steroid users). I looked it up just now, Bill Buckner had 2,715 and received only 2.1% on the 1996 ballot, which eliminated him from future votes. Could not believe this. Many inferior players have started at 20% and hung around on ballots for close to the 15 year max, and finally reach the 75% required. Buckner was either a victim of politics, or really was punished for that one play in the above video. Real shame....RIP Edited May 28, 2019 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad he had to suffer with that nasty dementia. That stuff is horrible. Same thing that got Robin Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Frank Lucas, drug trafficker who was the inspiration for American Gangster, passed away at 88. As much as I enjoyed the movie and Denzel Washington’s portrayal, have heard it was heavily fictional. The real kingpin was his “cousin” Ike Atkinson, in the movie he is the army guy who has a nightclub in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the pleasure of meeting him at Portman Road in the 2001 season, he was our guest in the boardroom and directors box. We'd got promoted in the playoffs and finished 5th in the premier league, so qualified for what was then the UEFA Cup. As past winners of the UEFA Cup and after a storming first season back in the premiership Mr Johansson honoured us with a visit to our first home game in the UEFA Cup. A real gentleman and was really interested in the history of ITFC, Alf Ramsay and Bobby Robson. Rest in Peace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
