It is always sadder when you have a connection to the deceased person.

That is true.

Anyways, R.I.P. Mr Brock.

At the time he retired he was the all-time leader in stolen bases, and I think his record still stands for the National League. (Rickety Henderson overtook the mark, but he had played exclusively in the American League when he surpassed it.)

Well in the case of my buddy, every time a sports figure dies, I go to his Facebook page and voilà, there is a picture of him and the dear departed, along with a comment on how they were “longtime dear friends”.

A month or so ago there was a story about a living sports figure here in the Picksburgh area; my buddy talked about how they were long time friends. But in a later post it came out that he did not even know where the dude lived.  ::)

Gotta give him credit though, he’s got a man-cave packed with all sorts of sports collectibles and pictures of him with big time sports stars. But he lays it on pretty thick...
