    To keep things official - an obit link: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...ver-obit_N.htm

    Sargent Shriver was 95 and a unique pick for -Jrabbit (ranked 9). In addition, as the first hit of the season he claims the First Blood Award

    (171 - 9) + (100 - 95) + 25 + 25
    =217 points.

    Well done and welcome to your usual position on the leader board.

              Except you scored 219 points with last year's opening.

              Looks like you're losing your edge

                Jack Lalane at 96.

                  Let's be honest, predicting the death of Jack Lalane correctly is really a great achievement.
                  Most people thought he would never die.

                  Anyway, RIP to Jack Lalane.

                    My theory is that LaLanne died in a 70s disco accident, and we've been watching a brother or cousin ever since.

                    • That's so sad. Just imagine how long Lalanne would have lived if he had of taken better care of himself.

                      • Jack LaLanne was 96 and a pick for 3 players:

                        Tuberski (13) = 162 points
                        Robert Plomp (18) and SlowwHand (18) = 157 points (each)


                        Several notes:

                        1) Robert Plomp scores his first hit. Welcome to the pros sir.
                        2) SlowwHand takes over 2nd place on the All Time list (barely)
                        3) SlowwHand and Robert Plomp set a new low points score
