Ducky was great, could ramble on about way off stuff, and really piss off Gibbs. Had no idea he was 90, didnt look a day over 65.

Brooks Robinson - 86. Played in the greatest era of baseball.....at least for me.

Too bad Brooks didn’t live long enough to see the Orioles win the AL East and possibly even the World Series this year.

Me, my Dad and Brooks way back in 1974. I got to spend the whole day with him. He was so kind to me all day. Interesting he was a lefty that batted and threw right handed. I sure had a goofy looking head as a teenager.

I'm pulling for the Rays.... I can hardly name a player on the teams now. I just follow Sportscenter highlights and check out the standings once in a while.

Do you know if this was the same crash that took Richard McSpadden (former Thunderbirds boss)?

Yes. Same crash. 177 Cardinal trying to return to the airport after encountering an issue.

The lady who cut my hair for 25 years was married to her high school sweetheart, he was diagnosed with brain cancer and given 6 weeks to live was dead in 6 days.

Yes. Same crash. 177 Cardinal trying to return to the airport after encountering an issue.

The impossible turn. Hard to believe he didn't know better if that is what truly happened.

Re: 177 crash….depending where he was on departure…it’s pretty heavily treed to the se…maybe the engine was stil developing partial power…tough to know what was going on.
