Katzen Not Coming Back

Our second hit of the day! LBJ's Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach died today at 90, and J.R. MacDonald picks up a solo on his 3rd hit of the game, rising from 13th to 7th place.

Congrats, J.R.!

Stop breathing, repeat

Hair stylist Vidal Sassoon is dead at 84, and only 1 player went in for the up-do: Natalie Tyler's Most Likely to Succeed: Class of 2012 List becomes the first player this year to get a 4th hit, which moves her from 4th place to the top

Oooh la la, Natalie!

4/8/2011 - Click on a celebrity's name on the Celeb List page to check out the new Celeb Summary page. Right now it's slightly on the anemic side, but I'll be adding more to it soon.

1/18/2011 - After 3 years of off-and-on work I've finally finished converting the whole site over to php. What does this mean to you? Initially - nothing except possibly broken links (but hopefully I've found them all - please be sure to let me know of any that I've missed). Moving forward I'm now in a position to expand the site to more dynamic interaction. For instance: I plan on modifying the Career Stats Pages to allow one to show only selected players. (Think of a "Compare Products" feature that you've likely seen on commerce sites.)

So please let me know if you see anything that doesn't look right, or if you have any ideas on how to improve the site.

thanks!
