Wherever he's gone, you can be sure there'll be clowns to the left of him, jokers to the right.

Indeed. I'm sure he's riding a Stealers Wheel, too.

RIP

"Baker Street" got more edgy with the Muzak version.

May not have had the best stats in the book-but no one was more feared by someone stepping up to the plate. With his speed and occassional wildness-you took your life in your hands standing up there and digging in. It did not help in warm up when he would uncork one that would fly back over the catcher to the screen.

Wow. I remember my dad talking about him. Wore glasses and used to throw a pitch to the backstop just to let you know he had no clue where it was going.

edit: as DrD said. :)

Are you certain? The only news story that I can find online is from today's Harrisburg Patriot News, but there are no details of his passing.

Then there's this from Wikipedia:

Editing of this article by new or unregistered users is currently disabled until January 10, 2011 because of WP:BLP issues; there are no official or reliable sources stating his death.

Dick Winters, the former World War II commander whose war story was told in the book and miniseries “Band of Brothers,” has died.

Dick Winters led a quiet life on his Fredericksburg farm and in his Hershey home until the book and miniseries “Band of Brothers” threw him into the international spotlight.

Since then, the former World War II commander of Easy Company had received hundreds of requests for interviews and appearances all over the world.

No details of his death...

Edit: A bunch of people (including Colin Hanks and Rita Wilson) tweeted their condolences on his death. But all the stories I find go to this site or Wikipedia. No one else has confirmed it.
