filkertomSadness. Earl Wilson passed away Saturday at his home in Southfield, MI. Wilson was a pitcher with the 1968 world champion Detroit Tigers and one of the best-batting pitchers ever (35 home runs, fer gosh sakes, in only 740 at-bats). Here are his stats from baseball-almanac.com.
More sadness. Mason Adams, one of the best-known voices in radio and TV advertising ("With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good"), died yesterday at the age of 86. Here's his IMDB listing, but that doesn't cover the literally hundreds of commercials and voice-overs he did in his long, long career.
