Pitchers hated facing Gwynn, were always in an almost state of awe when talking about him for an upcoming series.

Re: He's dead, Jim.
Some stories are coming out about what a special person he was. Juan Pierre tweeted that as a younger player, Gwynn waited around for 40 minutes after a game had ended to talk to him about hitting. That may be why Pierre had a career in baseball. I wonder how many more people he helped along the way.

Carole King's ex and songwriting partner Gerry Goffin. Their list of songs is amazing.

On this day in 1953 atomic spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were put to death in the electric chair at Sing Sing. Still guilty as charged all these years later. Good riddance.

Is spying for an ally treason?
No doubt they were paid by the Soviets, but treason means aiding and abetting your enemies in times of war. The Soviet Union was our "friend" when the Rosenbergs spied. They were not our allies when the trial (amid the Red Scare) took place.
Re: He's dead, Jim.
I dunno. Let's dig 'em up and ask. Or was that a rhetorical question? They richly deserved what they got.

Did you read "The Implosion Conspiracy"? Details the whole trial and execution.
The authors conclusion was guilty as charged, but execution was, if you pardon the expression, overkill.

Re: He's dead, Jim.
It matters naught whether the Soviets were 'frenemies' or enemies when the Rosenbergs and their ilk handed over US nuclear secrets as casually as if they were a blue ribbon apple pie recipe. That was classified information that they had no right to divulge to any foreign government.
I get the drift that you're objecting not to their conviction, but to the federal government's use of capital punishment. I suppose that is another debate entirely, though we all know what OP's position will be - Ol' Sparky was too kind, and their bodies should've been shipped to the Soviet Union to be buried underneath the Kremlin.

I'm with OP on that one.

Absolutely true. But it wasn't treason, as defined by the Constitution.It matters naught whether the Soviets were 'frenemies' or enemies when the Rosenbergs and their ilk handed over US nuclear secrets as casually as if they were a blue ribbon apple pie recipe.

Well I can plainly see that this is going to devolve into something stupid real soon.

Stephanie Kwolek, the chemist who developed Kevlar at 90.
Police and the military owe her a huge debt. I bought my first vest in 1978 at a police supply shop in SoCal. Weighed a ton!

Re: He's dead, Jim.
Attention: I'm not suggesting anyone is taking this position. But, I'm getting a little flashback to Alger Hiss' diehard defenders who suggested "after all, he was passing documents to the Soviet Union about our understanding of German capabilities and intentions." In other words, what he was doing wasn't so dangerous to us after all. The Rosenbergs got what they deserved. Too bad they couldn't have strapped Alger to Ethel's lap. And Jonathan Pollard too, come to think of it.

Yes. Great book. And Uncle Sam wasn't particularly interested in zapping a woman and mother (boy, did the Commies exploit her two little boys!). But she was a dedicated, tough minded Communist, and dying for the cause was evidently what she wanted. I'd like to grant more such wishes.
