RIP sports union leader Marvin Miller, 95. He freed the slaves...

Marvin Miller, the first executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, dead at 95 after year-long battle with cancer

Under Miller's leadership as their union chief, the average players' salary went from $10,000 in 1967 to $329,000 by 1984 while the minimum salary increased from $6,000 to $40,000.

(Wezil has gone into hiding believing Ming's success is a sign of the apocalypse.)

[Wezil]

Wezil is not in hiding. In fact he is quite visible at sites where the "Senior Staff" and moderators don't engage in baseless name calling and insults against the posters. As the Dead Pool is the only remaining thread of interest for me at Poly my appearances will be rather infrequent in the future. So long as this is okay with the players (and the above mentioned ambassadors for Poly don't drive me from this thread as well) I will continue to administer the pool. It's up to you guys to decide if if this is acceptable.


Ming - Congrats on ending the long dry spell. I will update your points this weekend.

Thanks... and just bookmark the thread and ignore the rest of the site

Wezil has a hard time ignoring things that p**s him off. He'd rather get even.


(But his at-times grumpy attitude can be forgiven simply for the amount of effort it takes to run The Dead pool )


And congrat's Ming for finally hitting paydirt. One more and I think you will have caught up to me.

Wezil couldn't harvest a good pissed off if his life depended on it. He doesn't have it in him. Wezil, hire me. I'll get pissed off for you, and I'm cheap.

[Wezil]

Larry Hagman was 81 and a unique pick for Ming (20).

= (171 - 20) + (100 - 81) + 25

= 195 points

Checking the thread is easy enough, it's the updates that take time. I'm aiming for monthly.

That is the rumour.

It's getting close to that time again. If there is to be a 2013 edition of the Dead Pool prep work will need to be done and a signup posted within a couple weeks...

Is there still enough interest to carry this abomination forward another year?

I think I've actually found a use for the '...thank you ...for the useful post" - sign up ^.

People will die in the coming year. Why should it be for nothing?

I'm game (hopefully I can be on time this year).

[-Jrabbit]

Interested = yes

My list is almost ready.
