Sorry, you're even older now; Rickey died a couple of years ago (as noted). That's a quote from Gene Shalit. I don't think he's your contemporary, right? :walker:
Not mine, but my Mum's. She would have been 101 this year.
Geez, I hate seeing my contemporaries in the obits.

In 2003, he suggested help for the Mets lineup: sign Rickey Henderson, then in his last season.
âWith his walks, bunts and an occasional extra-base hit, he will get on base far more often than the current troupe,â he wrote. âAnd when Rickey gets to first, heâll soon be on second. Sure, heâll be stranded there, but wonât it be fun to see a Met in scoring position?â

We were lucky enough to see him perform live during one of his final tours in 2009. There was an issue with the sound system, so none of the amplified instruments could be heard until it was repaired. While that was happening, that almost 80-year-old legend blew his unamplified horn long and hard, entertaining the almost 3000 attendees for about 10 minutes, with his powerful sound filling the hall all the way back to the upper balcony!
Yes, quite shocking. "The medical evaluation provided to the Busch Family concluded that severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications."
I was watching the race at Watkins Glen when he radioed near the end of the race that he wanted to get medical attention afterwards.
In his last post race interview when he won the truck race he was asked why he still races so hard after all these years he said that you never know when it will be your last race.
Kyle Busch, two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, dies at age 41
This was a big shocker.

Yep, sorry for the cornfusion.
