RIP Tawny Kitaen
She was only 59. I contacted her a few months ago and we were in negotiation about her appearing on Minutia Men Celebrity Interview. That's obviously not going to happen now. In the 90s she was married to Angels pitcher Chuck Finley. In the 80s, she was the one on the rooftop of Whitesnake's car (when she was married to David Coverdale), and for me most memorably portrayed Tom Hanks' fiance in Bachelor Party.
RIP Lloyd Price
One of the all-time greats...

I love this story on every level
A drunk ex-con with white supremacist tattoos allegedly used a colostomy bag as a weapon outside Kid Rock’s Tennessee eatery.

Police said he started swinging the bag from left to right hitting two cops with his feces.https://t.co/pQZazlhNsb
Minutia Men Celebrity Interview
The man of over 700 voices. He was nice enough to chastise my children for me in the voice of The Joker from the Batman video games https://t.co/b9RvMhenr5

Mickey Doolin
Happy 141st birthday to former #Cub Mickey Doolin. Doc, as he was known, was part of the first Cubs team to play at Wrigley Field in 1916. The previous season Doolin had also called the ballpark home–as a member of the Federal League Whales. A slick fielding 2B. #everyCubever pic.twitter.com/sROXZvP6he

Ted Turner
Happy 129th birthday to former #Cubs pitcher Ted Turner (not *that* Ted Turner). Ted was a three-time convicted chicken thief before he joined the #Cubs, pitched in one game in 1920 (1 1/3 innings), then spent many years of his life in jail. He killed two men. #everyCubever

Piano Legs
TODAY’S CUBS BIRTHDAYS (MAY 3)
~George Gore 1854–1933 (White Stockings 1879-1886)
Gore had one of the greatest nicknames of all-time; they called him Piano Legs. George was the centerfielder for the Cubs (then known as the White Stockings) during the team’s longest period of excellence. During Gore’s eight seasons, the team won the championship four times, including three years in a row (1880-1882). Piano Legs won a batting title (1880), hit over .300 six times, led the league in runs twice (1881-1882), and walks three times (’82, ’84, ’86), and still holds the club record most steals in a game (7). But George was also known as a big drinker and hell raiser off the field, and ran into constant conflict with team manager/captain Cap Anson. After the 1886 season, when some of the “drunks” on the team didn’t play up to their abilities in the World Series against St. Louis, Gore was shipped off to New York. (The others soon followed) In Anson’s book (which came out in 1900) he said that he saw Gore years later, and that his life had been ruined by “wine and women.”
