Obituary: Actor Ron Ely, 86, has died. He was best known as playing the character Tarzan in the television series of the same name way back in the 1960s.
Snip:
After playing supporting roles in films such as South Pacific, The Fiend Who Walked the West and The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker, Ely landed the role of Tarzan in the NBC series in 1966. He performed virtually all of his own stunts in the series, suffering two broken shoulders and various lion bites in the process.

He retired from acting in 2001 and published two novels.

Seventeen percent "undecided"? I don't think so.

Obituary from the other day: Famed baseball pitcher Fernando Valenzuela died at the age of 63.
Snip:
Called up late in the 1980 season as a reliever, Valenzuela, who was born in Navojoa, Mexico, took the baseball world by storm in the strike-shortened 1981 season. After Jerry Reuss was injured on the eve of Opening Day, Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda gave the ball to the 20-year-old Valenzuela, who had never started a major league game in his career.
He responded with a 2-0 victory over the Houston Astros and went on to begin the season with an 8-0 record, including five shutouts, and an 0.50 ERA.
"Tommy Lasorda came up to me and said, 'Are you ready to pitch tomorrow?' I said, 'I'm ready,'" Valenzuela recalled in 2023. "That's what I was looking for, the opportunity to show what I can do."
