Sad day. He'll forever be one of the best...

One of his 14 major-league homers came off great Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax. In typical Uecker form, he said he worried that homer would keep Koufax out of the Hall of Fame. Uecker also homered off Hall of Famers Ferguson Jenkins and Gaylord Perry.

The Koufax comment cracks me up. 03-lmfao

03-lmfao Boy, I bet he was fun to be around.

My favorite Lynch movie was the original 1984 Dune. It still holds up well after all these years.

It was not for everyone, certainly. My newlywed spouse was nonplussed by the lexicon handed out before the movie. Homework is not normally required for entertainment.

The 1984 Dune bore little resemblance to the Frank Herbert novel. No offence.

None taken. I have read all the Herbert books. I do not expect different mediums to align perfectly. Each was enjoyable in their own way.

RIP to the great John Sykes. The brilliant guitarist of Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake and Blue Murder (as lead vocalist also). Without a doubt one of my 3 favorite guitarists of all time. WHAT A SOUND!

Crank the volume to 10 before you hit play.

Archbishop Anastasios of Albania, who revived the country’s Orthodox Church after the fall of the communist regime in 1990, has died in Athens. He was 95.

“The indelible Archbishop Anastasios restored and renewed of the Orthodox Autocephalous Church of Albania, which he raised from its ruins following the fall of the atheistic regime. Through his God-inspired vision and tireless labor, he rebuilt ecclesiastical life from its very foundations, erected hundreds of churches, established educational and philanthropic institutions, and educated and ordained new clergy, offering unceasing sacrificial service for over thirty-three years,” his official Facebook page said.

Born Anastasios Yannoulatos in Greece in 1929, he arrived in Albania in 1991, immediately after the fall of the communist regime that had ruled the country since the mid-1940s, to resuscitate the country’s Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The Communist government had banned all religious practices and expropriated the property of the established Islamic, Orthodox, Catholic and other religions.

Anastasios was instrumental in revitalizing the Orthodox Church in Albania and was elected to its head in 1992. He was also significantly focused on interfaith dialogue and promoting church assistance to health care, education and social development in the country.

More than 400 parishes were reorganized in post-communist Albania. Some 150 new churches were constructed, while 60 churches, monasteries and cultural monuments were restored and 160 churches and 70 ecclesiastical buildings reconstructed.

The archbishop educated and ordained 168 clergy and also established youth centers in various cities. He also oversaw the translation into Albanian as well as the publication of liturgical and other religious books.

The church also constructed three hydropower projects, and the revenues from those contribute to its spiritual, philanthropic and educational efforts.

The archbishop held a doctorate in theology from the University of Athens. He studied religious studies, missionary studies and ethnology at the universities of Hamburg and Marburg in Germany and undertook research at Makerere University College in Uganda as a postgraduate scholar of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

He was ordained deacon in 1960 and priest four years later. In 1972, he was made bishop of Androussa and held the position of general director of the apostolic ministry of the Church of Greece from 1972 to 1991.

He was lauded for his academic work, having served as a professor and dean at the University of Athens, and for his leadership roles in international religious organizations, including the World Council of Churches.
