Dead or Alive

[ultimate7]

I was going through all RBIers to see who is dead or alive.  Obviously NES only Moore is dead, but for the Arcade, I embarassingly didn't know some big names for certain, like Musial(alive) and Eddie Mathews(dead).  I will post my dead list now, if you know others that I am obviously missing, let me know, Right now I'm going through Baseball Reference one by one.

Good work Ultimate, I'll make a separate dead RBI'ers page when you get them all done.  Will likely link off the miscellany page...

[ultimate7]

Hopefully I'll be done by end of tomorrow.

[TβG]

maybe date of death would be a nice touch to add but i'm certainly not volunteering for that duty... but good work ultimate.

[ultimate7]

Damn, I wish I would've thought of that, not sure I'm going back now to get them all, maybe later.

[fknmclane]

There's gotta be a few hall of shame quality deaths in there.

[ultimate7]

Nearly done with Dates, I thought for certain JR Richard was dead, Baseball reference doesn't have a Date of Death, can someone confirm he is still alive (I also thought Phil Cavaretta just died, but they had nothing for him also).

[ultimate7]

Apparently still alive:

Sad Tale of J.R. Richard
James Rodney Richard left baseball under a black cloud. During the 1980 season he began complaining of arm soreness and pain, but tests done by the Houston Astros revealed nothing. After his stroke in July, Richard was somewhat vindicated for the abuse he had taken from Astros' officials, Houston media and fans, who had suggested he was lazy, attention-starved, or on drugs. He underwent several operations to restore the blood flow to his arm and endured therapy that restored the use of the left side of his body (paralyzed by the stroke), but he was never able to throw effectively again. In the 1990s Richard was destitute. A reporter from the Houston Post located him under a bridge, unemployed and homeless, in 1995. After some help from friends in the community and the Astros, Richard found a job and was on his way back from his troubles.

[ultimate7]

Final count is 40 (39 Arcade plus Donnie Moore), I also was certain that Whitey Ford was dead, but apparently he is not.
