didn't really have anywhere else to put this so I picked this thread ... I see that 15 years ago today Ted Williams died. One of the more amazing numbers about him (and there are so many) ... lifetime OBP: .482It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Really sad to see that last night. I hadn't heard the cancer came back. There was some crazy talk years ago from him, but about 5 years ago he started doing a radio show on one of the local stations, and he was fantastic. Humble, open, gracious to the fans... it was my favorite show to listen to.Originally posted by revo View PostPhils' legend Darren Daulton succumbs to brain cancer at age 55. Terrible.
