When the guys that were on cards in packs that you opened as a kid start dying then you know you are getting old .

If that's not a name for the ages, I don't know what is. Sorta like Spook Jacobs. If he played for the pathetic Padres, no doubt Jerry Coleman would have named him, "the Biffer."

Spook was a tough one to find for the 56 Topps Hocus Focus set

RIP Biff, even sadder is that he is like the 10th player from the 82 pennant winning Braves team to pass away

One from the “all name team” as my friends and I used to call it. But hate to correct you Larry, the Braves did not win the 82 pennant!

Off the top of my head I could think of Pocoroba, Pascual Perez, Rick Mahler, and Bob Watson, then looking at the roster I saw Donnie Moore (forgot he was on that team) and Rick Camp (how did I forget him?), and then finally I checked each player, Tom Hausman (3 games), Larry Owen (2 games), and Rufino Linares (died 22 years ago ). ETA: Oops, missed Carlos Diaz who pitched in 19 games.

Are you saying all these names listed have passed? I remember watching them play like it was yesterday!

And sadly, Claudell Washington has now joined this list. As a kid in the 80s , I got to enjoy watching him play with both the Braves and Yankees. Normally I would have been disappointed that the Braves traded him, however, since it was to the Yankees all was good.
