RIP: Mike Flanagan

Today we lost former Cy Young Award winner, Mike Flanagan who passed away at the age of 59.  Flanagan won the American League Cy Young in 1979 and finished his career with 167 career wins.  He may have never been a serious threat for the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, but he is a member of the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame.  Flanagan was only 59 years old.

Football Senior Candidates Announced.

The Football Hall of Fame announced their two Senior Candidates today.  Jack Butler and Dick Stanfel were selected, and one of them will enter Canton.  Butler is on the outside of our top 100 and Stanfel is ranked at #54 and as much as we would like to congratulate both of them, we are feeling terrible for Jerry Kramer who was passed over again.  Needless to say, we are not pleased with that.

RIP: Jani Lane (Lead Singer of Warrant)

Jani Lane, the lead singer of Warrant was found dead today at the age of 47.  We will admit, that this was not one of our favorite bands.  They were a little on the cheesy side even by their own aerosol genre and were not exactly the most respected.  Regardless, they did make it and were the last of their kind to make it big before the Grunge boom took over.  Over twenty years later, and at a time when we are a liitle less pretentious about our music, Warrant is thought of by us as a fun band who was never meant to taken seriously.  Cherrie Pie is no longer a guilty pleasure, but a bit of an "approaching middle aged" part anthem for us now.  We don't ever see them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they were among the select group of musicians who could say that they made it.   We'll celebrate that for today.
