John Havlicek & Gino Marchetti –
Ball players, HOF’ers, grease merchants.
4/8/40 – 4/25/19 & 1/2/26 – 4/29/19.
Aged 79 & 93 years.
Most recognized for: In the offseason, sports writers just love to put together “top 50 players of all time” lists in lieu of doing any objective or relevant reporting . As pointless as these popularity contests might seem, these two clowns always manage to make the cut for their sport. Both played for national championship winning teams, both ran burger joints in their post-game years, and both now ride the big bench in the sky.
