Before anyone really gets worked up here . . . Nick Adenhart is on the list. I'm aware of that. When I put this together this afternoon and I got to No. 71, I really didn't know what to do. Leave it blank? Just put a RIP there? Everything just felt totally wonky, so I just put MLB down, because that's where he was on Opening Day, and after watching him pitch last night, that's what I'll remember him as.
