Lou Christie, 82, pop singer from the UK that had 60's hits 'Lightning Strikes' and 'I'm Gonna Make You Mine' as well as some other noteworthy projects.
Very Funny Heim but absolutely true.Fred Smith, founder of FedEx
He filled a niche by privatizing rapid delivery.
Without the FedEx Priority Envelope Calipari would never have fielded a team.
Many NFL fans don't know that Ex Falcon's head coach and current Steeler's Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith is Fred Smith's son. Wonder how much cash is in Arthur's future?

Should have been in years ago, great player
Parker was a great all around player. Had power but didn’t sacrifice his ability to hit to all fields. And like his predecessor Clemente, he had a cannon of an arm.
I didn’t get to see Clemente in his prime but Parker & Ichiro might’ve had the best OF arms in the past 50 years.

While looking for the throw I posted, I found this. This one is even better than the one above, he throws the ball off his back leg, a one hop perfect throw to third, both in the same game
I remember being at a Mariners/Giants spring training game in 2001; Ichiro’s first season. At that point, I knew nothing about him. Someone hit a ball to the wall and Ichiro unleashed an incredible throw, nailing a runner by about 20 feet at the plate. I was like “holy f-k, what was THAT?”. The guy next to me was from Seattle and told me this guy was the biggest superstar in Japan.

In the 1969 NBA draft, the Phoenix Suns lost a coin flip to the Milwaukee Bucks for the rights to the #1 overall pick, which was Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). The Suns, who had the worst record in the Western Conference, called heads, but the coin landed tails. Milwaukee then drafted Alcindor, who led them to an NBA championship in his second season. The Suns picked Neal Walk with the second pick.

Michael Madsen, Kill Bill, Reservior Dogs, 67, cardiac arrest.
Jimmy Swaggart dead? Ah shucks, he was a cool dude.
In recent years, his TV show featured a piano player who could bang the keys just like Jerry Lee Lewis.
If there is a video out there of Swaggart and this guy dueting I would buy it; have no interest in the sermons.
Born to sharecroppers in Feriday, Louisana. His parents names were Willie Leon and Minnie Bell. If that's all that you knew about them, you would have presumed they were black. Actually, I'm confident that there were blacks in his family tree as Jimmy had soul.
A very musical family: Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley were first cousins.
I love this line about Swaggart's extended family; lifted from Wikipedia: "[Swaggart's] extended family had a complex network of familial relationships; 'cousins and in-laws and other relatives married each other until the clan was entwined like a big, tight ball of rubber bands."
