Thanks for running again frummie!
I noticed one likely typo above: there’s a Gianluva Vialli shown, which I imagine is the popular Gianluca
I think Frank Field and Frank Ernest Field are the same person

Thanks. I fixed all of them. I posted all picks by contestant in the fourth post of this thread.
Who else besides me had Doc Severinsen? You said only one person picked him, but he’s not marked as unique.
2 days too late.

I have him as an alternate on my 23 list.
Also a little late

He’s my alt for under 50 in this pool.
Drat. I saw the 25th anniversary show of Lonesome Crowded West. Was awesome.
So many unique picks so high on people’s list. I am interested to see how that plays out.
Looks like we’ll need to put some alternates in play. RIP to one of the greats:

One other item I noticed: I saw someone had made Mark Pilgrim a tragedy pick. Mark Pilgrim the South African media personality was on my long list but didn’t make the cut for me. However, I don’t think he’s tragedy eligible as his wiki has him born in 1969. If it’s a different Mark Pilgrim, nevermind.

This one is not the one that is ill (as far as I can tell) and also not under 50 (turned 50 in November)

I hate when celebrities die in the last few days of the year. 
Lists have been updated to remove Pele.
