PrintThis is a little rudimentary as I just haven't found time to make a proper post. There are 21 participants this year, meaning the winner will receive $180, with $20 going to second place and $10 going to third. I haven't yet gone through to signify who all the unique picks are, but I'll update this post as I comb through the list again.
The list is now alphabetized with all unique selections noted. I've also put the rosters in a table for better readability.

Valentine's Day
Joe’s first game in a big league uniform was at Dodger Stadium. I had close seats, and saw him walking pre-game toward the bullpen with Ryan Wagner. He was pretty starry-eyed, and I knew I was the only one in the stadium to even know who he was outside of the pressbox. I yelled anonymously from the crowd, “Hey, Joe!” He turned to the crowd, but didn’t see me. I yelled out, “Welcome to the Bigs!”, and he smiled broadly. It was a really cool moment. I thought it was one of the classier things I’d ever done as a fan.
Later he refused me an autograph. I hope he takes flying lessons.

My 6:
Tony Dungy (Silly, but I saw a recent photo where he looked more sickly than usual).
Mean Joe and Deacond Jones (Old, large men in their early 70s who played in the NFL…high risk)
Marv Levy (Dude is just old)
BB King (Ditto)
Jean Stapleton (Edith Bunker…quite old)

if i may make a suggestion, though the compitetion has already started
perhaps we should amend the rule to include anyone whose death is reported by the AP and not just CNN or ESPN (ESPN, right?). The AP should cover most celebrities and not just any random schmuck. Just my two bits, for i worry about a few of my picks.

meh
i specifically picked cnn and espn because those are pop news outlets. I didnt want to include AP or New York Times because they run just about everyone’s obit, and the system could be gamed by someone trolling around for obscure pseudo-celebrities in poor health.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
fair enough ... we did now in advance the rules

Okay
It is fine whatever you want to do- I just saw that she passed away and that your former roommate had her on his list- wasn’t sure why he didn’t get the points…
Anyone have Uncle Al?
My sister was on his show back in the 70s

I was on Uncle Al's show as a kid
I think we have a picture somewhere in my parent’s house.

Uncle Al
was a children’s TV show legend in Cincy. He was on the air from 1950 to 1985. When a rival network couldn’t grab him, they started their own version….Captain Kangaroo. Uncle Al had the longest-running kids TV show ever until Sesame Street passed him a few years ago.
He died yesterday at age 84…living in retirement in Hillsboro.

Uncle Fucking Al for christs sake -
Back in the days when loser comics, pedophiles and drunks were entertaining kids. These were hard working entertainers who busted their asses for a laugh and didn’t do a lot of sissy Kaptain Kangaroo shit, these shows were the predecessors of Sesame Street and Paul Rubins brilliant Pee Wee’s Playhouse. No blue dipshit dinosaurs, tele-transgendered-tubbies, or Angel Blight Pony Princess phony shit. Uncle had a goddamn heart attack on stage and the kids ate it up!!!!
Fucking Genius
This guy had blacks on TV before it was Kosher (although in case the aforementioned is giving Clowboy’s Dad a fond little rectal pinch)
While at the same time wendy pulls Al’s plug!!!

uncle Al looks like a skinny Dom DeLuise
from the last 2/3 of Twelve Chairs
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
I have Dom DeLuise
as a unique pick…maybe I should send him an accordion.

I was on Uncle Al
Isn’t he dead already? Or did Caeser just think of him because we were just talking about someone named Wendy?
Died yesterday
Uncle Al did. The news broke this evening…an hour or two ago.

I watched Unlce Al all the time as a little shaver
I heard a story once that Uncle Al was rooting around the dumpster behind the studio one day, looking for something that had been erroneously discarded. Of course, he fell into the enclosed dumpster.
Soon thereafter, a mother and her kid walked by to hear the calls of Uncle Al coming from a dumpster in an alley.
That said, I was never cool enough to go on Uncle Al’s show. I had to settle for a cameo on Clubhouse 22 with Dr. Creep. In retrospect, much cooler.
