It's a good thing I won last year cause I had two people on my 2019 list that died & weren't recorded.
Leah Bracknell - 9/15/2019
Johnny Clegg 7/16/2019
I didn't noticed they passed and move them to my 2020 list.
So technically I had 3 people in 2020, one actually died (Death Row) & two that passed in 2019.
I gave you knuckleheads a big head start.

I gave you knuckleheads a big head start. I just had to Google them to find out who they were.
Both passed too young (55 & 66) & both due to cancer too.
At least 129 points.

I honestly thought my two people were alive. After all, they voted in 2020 election including the Death Row Guy.

I saw him pitch once. Unbelievable what he did with the ball.

Quote:Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro, famous for signature knuckleball, dies at 81
Phil Niekro, a pitcher who used his signature knuckleball to fool generations of hitters and craft a Hall of Fame career, died Saturday night in his sleep after a long battle with cancer, the Atlanta Braves announced Sunday. He was 81.
Niekro, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997, was one of baseball's most prolific and durable pitchers, using his "butterfly" pitch to win 318 games in a career that spanned 24 seasons, including 21 with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves.
"We are heartbroken on the passing of our treasured friend, Phil Niekro," the Braves said in a statement. "Knucksie was woven into the Braves fabric, first in Milwaukee and then in Atlanta. Phil baffled batters on the field and later was always the first to join in our community activities. It was during those community and fan activities where he would communicate with fans as if they were long lost friends.
"He was a constant presence over the years, in our clubhouse, our alumni activities and throughout Braves Country and we will forever be grateful for having him be such an important part of our organization.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Nancy, sons Philip, John and Michael and his two grandchildren Chase and Emma."
Niekro joined Lou Brock, Whitey Ford, Bob Gibson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan and Tom Seaver as Hall of Famers who died in 2020 -- the most ever to pass away in a calendar year, according to Hall of Fame spokesman Jon Shestakofsky.

RIP
I didn't see him on anyone's list.

Quote:Dawn Wells, Mary Ann on 'Gilligan's Island,' dies of COVID-19 at 82
Dawn Wells, best known for her role on the classic sitcom "Gilligan's Island," died Wednesday from complications related to COVID-19. She was 82.
Wells, who played the girl-next-door castaway Mary Ann in the long-running show, was a familiar face to millions of Americans.
The show ran for three seasons but is still airing on television worldwide in more than 30 languages.
Wells appeared on more than 150 TV shows as well as seven films and has starred in over 60 theatrical productions across the country.
A native of Reno, Nevada, Wells was Miss Nevada in the 1959 Miss America pageant.
She was the fun one.
RIP
I don't believe she was on anyone's list, but double check it please.
