Which of the tengen players have passed away?

I know of Donnie Moore and Kirby Puckett, recently, but is there anyone else?

No death pool here, but with the game being around for so long, a buddy and I were wondering . . .

Yeah, that's all

Kirby and Donnie are the only two from the NES version.  There are obviously more on the arcade version, since it includes all-time rosters, but this site focuses more on the NES version, and I don't know that anyone's ever looked up which of those players are still around.

I've been thinking about doing some RBI Database work adding stub articles for arcade players, but I'm not as familiar with the arcade version, and it'll take some time to do, so I've been focusing more on updating NES-related pages (which I think are more heavily-trafficked, assuming anything on the RBIdb is heavily-trafficked).

Thanks.  Oh wait, Bobby Ojeda as well . . . in that boating accident around 89-90 . . . .

Bobby Ojeda = Alive

I'm sure he'll be happy to be reminded about that boating accident though

Ojeda was the only survivor - he even pitched after the accident, albeit just for a few games, I think.

I was looking through my baseball cards the other day and stopped for a minute when I came across a Steve Olin... my cards are mostly from the early 90s, and there are very few cards of players who I remember hearing about their deaths.

Bobby Ojeda = alive
Me =getting bloody old . . .

I hope no one else dies anytime soon.  How old was Donnie Moore when he killed himself?

Who is the oldest current RBI'er that's alive & well?  I'd say it's either Nolan Ryan or Reggie Jackson.

Don Sutton, IIRC

Man perm is definitely the oldest.  My wife and I were going through pics of her family yesterday and there was a couple of pics of her dad with a man perm.  Simply amazing.
