His first game was in '59, last game in '80. Not many have a career cutting across 4 different decades. (I remember this fact from his baseball card in '80 when I collected them.

You made me curious just how many there are.  The answer is 31, but Kid Gleason should have an asterisk.  He retired in 1908, but came back and played one game in 2012.  He did go 1 for 2 in that game, finishing the year hitting .500.  He also would manage the 1919 Black Sox a few years later.

Out of this list, every position is represented except for 3B.

That was a poor choice of GIFs on my part.  I was more referencing that rather than go to her house and check on him, since she was working nearby, that she would call the cops.  If my wife called or texted and I didn't response while she was at work, she'd assume my phone was silenced or off, or anything other than something that needed a wellness check by the cops.

I’m assuming you aren’t a drug addict and or known to be suicidal though

Appears that Jimmy Carter is saying his goodbyes. No CR but after a tough presidency he did a lot of good for a lot of people.

He’s 98, won’t be 99 until October.

Sad. He was my CIC and I am proud of it. Was hand picked by Rickover.

Bummer to hear that about President Carter, but certainly expected after all this time.  Clinton and Bush probably have another 15 years in them, and Obama another 25-30.  This'll probably be the last time I watch a Presidential funeral until my children are fully grown.  Kinda weird to think about but he deserves all the dignity and respect of a proper state funeral.  I am going to make it a point to take the kids through his Library in Atlanta one day soon so they can understand what men of honor looked like.

armybrat did skip William Henry Harrison's funeral.  but to be fair, it was a sudden illness that took hold shortly after he took office and armybrat didn't have the ability to make an immediate train ride.  

and clinton will certainly live more than 5 more years.  I'm betting 10-15.

You weren't alive when Coolidge died?  All jokes aside.  

Fun fact, the 18.5 years between FDR and JFK was the longest we ever went without a former/current President dying,

I would bet heavily that we lose three former/current U.S. Presidents by the end of this decade.
