I feel bad, too.
He was one of the nice guys on that '69 Oriole team.

He was from the Virgin Islands.
Funny how you remember things like that.

RIP,Ellie.

I wonder how much Ellie contributed to the development of Melvin Mora. His presence there may be a hint.

EDIT: Here's the full list for 2005:

Did we take note when ex-Met Mike Bishop passed away earlier this year?
