EDDIE VAN HALEN
DEAD AT 65

I wasn't a big fan but he sure could play that guitar. Some called him the king of rock in the 80's.

Always sad when someone with so much talent goes early. 65 is considered young in this day and age.

Yes, that was one of my favourites of his. I believe he wrote that song too if I am not mistaken.

Another Sad passing, but lived a good long life.

Whitey Ford, winningest Yankee pitcher ever

My dad and his brother met Whitey Ford at a Yankee open house in the 60's. They go up to him in the clubhouse and say, "Hey Whitey, how about a picture?"

He says sure, so my dad hands him the camera and my dad and his brother stand next to each other so Whitey Ford can take their picture.

Cracked everyone up and became family legend.

10 time All-Star and six time World Series Champion. Elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.

Ford was a great one, to be sure. He used to croak my Red Sox. That, I know. Oh, the beatings!
