“Dirty Waters” was one of the hardest hitting safeties of his era in the National Football League. He led the Philadelphia Eagles in tackles four times and was part of the reason the NFL banned hits on quarterbacks below the waist in the pocket. Andre Waters would have turned 64 today but took his own life in 2006 at the age of 44.

I thought it was pretty cool seeing Gorillaz make their SNL debut last weekend, performing their classic hit Clint Eastwood, and thought it would be fun to share my copy from 2005!

Shooty was the Oakland Athletics second baseman for the start of the 1981 season. Poor defensive play (manager, Billy Martin once was quoted saying “If you ever see Shooty Babitt play second base for me again, I want you to Shooty me) led to him losing his starting job after the strike and he never returned to the Major Leagues. For the season he hit .256 (40 for 156) with five steals. Shooty Babitt turns 67 today.
