Vida Blue - still the youngest AL MVP ever IIRC - passed away at the age of 73. He was a member of the early 1970s Oakland Athletics dynasty that won three World Series in a row.

:USA Terry McDermott, 1964 US Olympic speed skating champion, died over the weekend at age 82

 

He's also famous for appearing on the TV show which attracted the biggest audience in American history. Although it's probable that fewer people were interested in his interview than they were with the first US TV appearance of the Beatles.

      Most people know taekwondo from watching the Olympics. However, only sparring is recognized in the Games - poomsae (forms) is completely left out. It's time for the Olympic program to acknowledge poomsae and give taekwondo's artistic discipline the recognition it deserves.   Sign this petiton: Make Poomsae an Olympic Sport

      Meanwhile Trump is - again - at the edge of legality by threatening a journalist/media company with jail time if not giving up a source for information around the US airman rescue in Iran. Nice and public on live TV.
