Babe Heffron, one of the Battered Bast**ds of Bastogne, dies at 90 years old. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.

Re: Dead!!!!
Possible you're thinking of Mr. Moto.
And Gary Hart was not related to the Calgary Hart family.

Nope. Thanks for the help. But it was Mitsu Arakawa. I posted a link to the guy. Way before you young guys.

Re: Dead!!!!
I think Babe was also the lifelong buddy of Wild Bill Guarnere. I bet he's awfully lonesome without Babe.

Re: Dead!!!!
In John Toland's book on the Battle of the Bulge, he recounted a conversation between a captain being overrun by Tigers and a higher up waaaay behind the lines. The guy on the other end of the 'phone told him to calm down. And asked how many Tigers he was talking about. The guy said: "Colonel, I could p*ss out the window and hit at least six!"
Bastogne was hell on earth. And as we learned later, Joachim Peiper and company weren't in the business of adhering to the Geneva Conventions.

And another reminder to people, if you haven't seen Band of Brothers, get your *** on a couch and watch it. NOW.

Re: Dead!!!!
In 2006 Nelson Mandela said
Whether it was the power of football to end a civil war in the Ivory Coast or a group of college kids on a sheet of ice in Lake Placid or Jesse Owens disproving the myth of the superior Aryan race right before Hitler's eyes or sports and other entertainment shining a spotlight on the system of Apartheid in his own South Africa we have seen time and time again how powerful sport can be. Nelson Mandela will be missed for many reasons, but his love of athletics and realization and acknowledgement of the power of sport is part of his legacy.

Re: Dead!!!!
There are so few truly great men. Some near great. But few truly great. And one has passed from our midst. This kind of world event will be a protocol and security nightmare for the government of South Africa. Wonder if Winnie will demand a place at the funeral? I guess you can't hold kidnappings and murders (Stompie Moeketsi among others) against her forever.
Quoting the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which held:
"Ms Winnie Madikizela Mandela politically and morally accountable for the gross violations of human rights", concluding that she had personally been responsible for the murder, torture, abduction and assault of numerous men, women and children, as well as indirectly responsible for even larger number of such crimes."

To be fair, Mr. Moto is even older than Arakawa. I just screwed up since Moto was an NWA guy while Arakawa was in the AWA.

Re: Dead!!!!
Well, back in the B&W days and the Dumont network, there was no such thing as the NWA or the AWA. There was the AFL/CIO instead. Anyway, it was Arakawa I was thinking of. And like all Japanese rasslers in those days, he was the bad guy. Sneaky, very sneaky. I wasn't until I got to Tokyo I realized that b.s. he tried after the bell rang (always after, always) was pseudo sumo sh*t.
