That's too bad.  His Baseball Museum over in Van Meter Iowa is really cool.  A few years ago he had Yogi Berra and Ozzie Smith there in the same year.  We went over to get a photo of Ozzie and I autographed and I had my photo taken with Bob Feller out front of his Museum.  I really wish I would have made it to get the Photo of Yogi and I autographed.

Very sad. I was literally about 3 blocks away when this happened and he died in the same hospital my dad did.

Jackass Star Ryan Dunn - Killed in car wreck.

http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/06/20 ... ?hpt=hp_t2
Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of MTV's "Jackass" films and TV series, was killed Monday in a car wreck, close friends of his family told CNN.

Police did not immediately release details of the crash, which happened on a state highway in West Goshen, Pennsylvania early Monday.

The red-bearded Dunn, 34, was famous for his pranks and dangerous stunts on the show, which evolved into a successful film franchise. He also hosted "Proving Ground," which premiered on the G4 channel in June.

She joined the "27 Club" which I never heard about until this weekend.

Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and many more all died at the age of 27.

I hate that the media tries to put her in with that group. She happened to be 27 when she died, but let's not pretend she was even in the same realm as a Hendrix or Morrison musically. Those guys are legends, people will forget about Winehouse in a week.

I have a ton of respect for the guy.  Another football player dies too early.  Really sad that they didn't know just how bad getting hit in the head over and over again was back then.
