Sad. Life is short guys. It comes in highs and lows. The highs never last as long as you want, the lows seem to come at the worst time. But neither last for very long in reality.

Keep things in perspective this election week. Be safe and enjoy life. But remember, we never know when our number is going to be called up.

They say you always wanna go out doing something you love. Im sure he was ecstatic to get his first perfect game, but me thinks hed rather have more time with family.

Life is short but this guy went out on top doing what he loved. He's a legend now. All those people that die while having sex don't get written up in the newspapers. Peace be with you Don Doane.

Was that called for?

I mean, whether you are hoping that Obama wins or dies directly after winning, this thread nor that story has anything to do with politics. God, I want this election to be over.

On the story, it is sad and does prove that life is short. Do what you love and try to accomplish what you want to do in the time you have.

I agree, If you are going to die and you will someday, at least go out doing what you love.............Just think if he would have died after his worse game ever?

For the record, i figured he meant what he meant, but I didnt even feel it was worthy of response, so i ignored it. But make no mistake I did not agree with that poster..

On to the topic... I hope his family the best. Surely he will be a legend in that town
