Who’s Your Dead-y?

Monday, December 11th, 2006

(Note to my female, homosexual male and foreign readers: Please stick with me through the beginning of this post where I briefly discuss certain baseball players. I know you won’t care about them, but I assure you that you’ll enjoy the point of the story.)

Jose Uribe was a shortstop for the San Francisco Giants while I was growing up. He was fairly obscure, nothing special, and mostly anonymous to a mere casual fan. He died on Friday in a car crash.

I was talking about this tragedy with one of my buddies. He, like me, is a walking baseball encyclopedia so when I mentioned another story of a baseball player dying way too soon, I figured he would have been familiar with the story. He wasn’t.

I brought up Bo Diaz. He was a catcher, mostly for the Cincinnati Reds. He also played while I was growing up. He was killed in 1990 when he was crushed by the satellite dish he was installing on his roof. My friend doubted my story so he did what anyone does these days to confirm a fact—He Googled “Bo Diaz died”.

That led us to one of the most macabre, yet entertaining website that I ever have come across: http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/It’s the ultimate database of dead celebrities from all walks of fame. You not only find out who is dead, when they died and how it happened but you also learn who they’ve outlived, how many more days you have to live to outlive them and much, much more.

Did you know that if Artie Lange, the portly comedian from the Howard Stern Show, who is known for his abuse of drugs, alcohol and food can manage to stay alive for just 1,255 more days he can outlive Elvis Presley (also known for his “excesses”)? Fascinating!

I spent hours on this site last night. They even have games you can play like “Dead or Alive?” or “Guess The Age”Try it out…here’s one:

Dead or Alive?

Cass Elliot, AKA “Mama Cass” of the group The Mamas & The Papas

Fun, right? I can play on there all day and I think that I will…Imagine, if Bo Diaz had cable, I never would have known about http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/ !

UPDATE (12-13-06) Peter Boyle AKA “Frank Barone” just swiched teams.
