I have malignant salivary gland cancer

I know he was related to baseball great Ned Hanlon. Hopefully he's taking baseball with Ned, John McGraw, Hughie Jennins, Wilbert Robinson all the other great from thar era.

RIP to a fellow (at least for several years) Spider.

 

Is there a link anywhere to his obituary?

 

It always hurts when we lose a fellow traveler.

RIP, man.

 

Good question. If anyone has one please dm me.

 

Allegedly SongBird found it thanks to a former poster whose baseball fandom aligned handle shall not be named, check in with him.

 

I know he's dead, but I've always felt icky about outing dead folk. They didn't want to be outed while they were with us.

 

Deadnaming, as it were.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty mixed on this. Boogie had considerable time to decide whether or not to go fully public, and didn't.

There are plenty of reasons many of us want to remain anonymous-- work-related, family-related, etc etc. Some of those reasons become moot after death, but some don't.
