The 27 Club & Ms. Winehouse

In my year+ of curating this beacon of deathly excellence that is the dead league blog I believe Ms. Winehouse wins for the youngest person to score points. At 27 years old she is the latest member of the "27 club" who all obviously would have been 1st round draft choices in our twisted game. The list includes Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain & Freaky Tah of the rap group Lost Boyz. Congrats to Cremation Nation who jumps from 4th to first on the back of his 6th round pick Ms. Winehouse. Condolences go out to all the teams that dropped Ms. Winehouse in the past 4 years including Dead Presidents (last 2 years), Get Got (under a previous owner 3 years ago) and Happy enTrails 4 years ago before I bought my stake in the franchise. They tried to make her go to rehab.... I bet they are now reconsidering their intervention skillz.

Betty Ford

So Ol'Betty there was a looker back in the day huh? Well I'm using and adjusted scale that gives bonus points for it being 1950 or somewhere in that range and also I'm taking her in the vacuum of first ladies. Think about it, she is way hotter than Martha Washington... just saying. Anyway Mrs. Ford was 93 at her timely demise and scores 27 points for Cixx the Bucket. She was a keeper, so well played. This post will also be the final resting place for several "lesser" deaths/scores;

July 4th Otto von Habsburg - crown prince of Austria Hungry 98 scores 22 points for the Erethral Spirits

Laura Lynn Ryan - former first lady of Illinois (did she sell a senate seat?) 76 years old died 6/27/2011 scores 44 points for Davey Jones Locker

Peter Falk 83 died on 6/23 and scores 37 points for Cixx the Bucket... I had to look him up evidently he was the star of a hit tv show from before I was born, god he was old.

James Arness - 6/3/2011 played some cowboy on tv on shows before I was born he was 88 and scores 32 points for Bloody Mary and they also get a blood bath bonus with Jack Kavorkian and Cixx the Buckett of 25 points each.
