I don't want to seem heartless, but I thought Sam Snead died several years ago. But I also thought Ted Williams died in the 80s, and I discover he's still living in his 80s.
Big sports loss, though. :'(

No, apparently he only passed away in the last few days.

To quote from the link below :

"...But beyond his achievements, we will always remember him for the style and grace he brought to our sport. His swing was often referred to as the most fluid the game had ever seen, and he captivated countless fans around the world with his easy smile and infectious sense of humor..."
