Already insane, UAA making it worse
Apparently he’d had it since 2016.
I thought he was very good in 42 and his SNL Black Jeopardy sketch is still hilarious.

Four years battling colon cancer while filming his MCU roles. I can’t even imagine trying to do that.

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure Kep doesn't feel particularly good after this one.
Perhaps one of the most one sided trades ever made. Saw him hit a home run into the center field bleachers in the old Polo Grounds in NY. A feat only accomplished 3 times in major league history (I also saw Joe Adcock do it). i believe Hank Aaron was the third one to do it. Over 3000 hits and over 900 stolen bases. Pretty sure the Cubs and all Chicago fans felt at the time he was traded for Ernie Broglio that they got the better part of that deal!

People (like me) who never saw a game at the Polo Grounds simply can't conceive of how impossible that feat was.
Shea Stadium was a rather long 410 to direct CF. The Polo Grounds was 480.
OTOH, look at how short the foul lines are:
Fun fact: the bullpens were located on the field of play. One of the weirdest parks in history.
Here's a heart-achingly beautiful picture with both the Polo Ground and Yankee Stadium in frame. They were just across the Harlem River from each other:
The Giants evicted the Yankees from the Polo Grounds in 1920. At least one of the two teams in the World Series played within that tiny area in 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1933, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1962, and 1964. (bold is both)

I saw Adcock hit a center field home run at Chavez Ravine that looked like a line-drive single until it just never stopped.
