I learned about his death today on PTI.

The strangest thing happened as well. Today while blogging (in my case giffing) I posted a picture of him from Fantasy Island in response to another comment. And now, he’s gone. Man, he was one of a kind. R.I.P.

Also want

To acknowledge the death of Patrick McGoohan. “The Prisoner,” which McGoohan starred in, created, wrote, and directed, is some of the best TV you can find anywhere. He was also TV’s Secret Agent and Braveheart’s Longshanks. He won a couple Emmy’s for a recurring role on Colombo and was possibly the only thing in Ice Station Zebra worth watching. A delightfully strange and witty actor.

But

Do you have a picture of him bare-chested?

Or fake-chested?

I’ve long been convinced that Ricardo is wearing a fake chest in Wrath of Khan.

'Oh yes, I know all about that duty-of-a-citizen stuff. It doesn't go. There are exceptions to every rule, and this was one of them. When a man risks his liberty to come and root at a ball-game, you've got to hand it to him. He isn't a crook. He's a fan.'

Best baseball scene ever!

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
