Lets get loaded before we draft again. You can take that any way you wish.

He suffered a heart attack at his Redmond, Washington home on January 26, 1981, and died at the age of 42. He is buried in an unmarked grave at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, Bellevue, Washington (Gethsemane Section, Grave 85).

Yeah back in the day, those LA athletes were always mixing with the Hollywood crowd, getting in cameo appearances in a lot of tv shows. The earliest I remember are Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax on the Donna Reed Show.

If the west teams get their teams ready to load into the league we can make a run at it after rjnewman enters his team.

I remember Bob Gibson on Gentle Ben! And maybe Drysdale too?

Bob ("what do you want") Gibson on "Gentle" Ben??? Now that's an oxymoron!

Bob ("what do you want") Gibson on "Gentle" Ben??? Now that's an oxymoron!

So what's the story here?

Well, just that Bob Gibson was always a surly character, and him being on a show titled Gentle Ben sounded like a contradiction. Wasn't Gentle Ben about a bear??
