Don Larsen, 90.

Whitey is just about the last one left from those 50's Yankees teams, and he's 91 now.

The notion of a post-season perfect game is still remarkable. When Roy Halladay pitched his no-hitter I just about lost it. To think of that happening on an even bigger stage, at a time when the World Series was the biggest deal in the entire sports calendar and for it to be a PERFECT GAME to boot.... just wow. I was one of a few thousand people in the ballpark when Tom Browning threw a perfecto against the Dodgers on September 16, 1988. I think about that a hundred times a year if I think about it once. As Larson said, no one will ever top him. They might tie him, but never top him.

A perfect game, ESPECIALLY in this day and age with pitch counts, "openers," specialization in pitchers...it will be a unicorn in baseball soon enough. It was such a rarity before analytics, and now? Hoo boy. Then, as you said, add to that, in a Championship Series? I would be amazed if anyone got a sniff of one ever again.

Buck Henry.

Was it he, or Steve Martin who has hosted SNL the most?

Now who will undersexed teen/twenty-something males turn to for libertarian lyrics? :p

But seriously, he was one of the best drummers. 67 is too young.

Hadn't heard of these guys so I gave them a listen.

They are extraordinarily not good and I think if confronted by them on the street I would stab them in the face. It's like everything bad about lofi in one trite snivel.
