Hugh O'brien, star of the first adult TV western, The Adventures of Wyatt Earp, and in countless movie and TV roles, has died at age 91. RIP! Wyatt Easp be an in 1955 and was cancelled in 1961, so I remember the latter years of the show.

W.P. Kinsella, whose 1981 book "Shoeless Joe Jackson" was turned into the 1989 movie Field of Dreams, has died at age 81.

 

That guy is great! His "Iowa Baseball Confederacy" was one of my favorites years ago - magico-realism and sports history an oddly satisfying combination. Rest in peace, WP.

  • If you don't know where you're going, you might end up some place else.
  • He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.
  • You can observe a lot by watching.
