1968-69 Topps #28Detroit Red Wings legend Alex Delvecchio turns 77 today. The 13 time All-Star and 3 time Stanley Cup winner entered the Hocley Hall of Fame in 1977.
Academy Award winning actress Marisa Tomei is celebrating her 47th birthday today.
It's amazing how good Marisa Tomei looks even today. Wow. Maybe it's all that exercising she does with large green rubber bands.
ReplyDeleteFunny how players like Jesse Burkett somehow made the Hall of Fame but nobody really remembers them today. But then, 40-50 years from now, nobody will remember Marisa Tomei. Unless there's a big cult following of one of her movies. Hm. How about The Watcher. That was a horrible Keanu Reeves vehicle. I digress...
That in-game photo of Delvecchio is fantastic!
