As a very young Detroit Lions fan, I remember when Chuck Hughes collapsed and died right on the field back in 1970.
Didn’t make the list.
Ojeda sustained a very serious injury to his pitching hand, if i recall correctly.
Len Bias and his cocaine party death should not even be mentioned with the likes of Reggie Lewis, Reggie White, Flo-Jo, Clemente, Thurman Munson, and others.....but it is.

TRUE
i remember it as if it were yesterday...ray wanted the fight stopped kept looking at the ref...he was never the same fighter after that....
exactly....it was a shame for us boston fans but he died due to his own stupidity...
I think Eddie Sachs gets the prize for most horrific death at Indy. That crash was what prompted USAC to mandate methanol for Championship cars.

I love this poem and I understand all of the meanings involved, but that one line. How is a garland briefer than a girl’s? A girl’s what? No amount of research has helped.

Excellent question. I have no idea.
And if you do find out, please let me know. Otherwise, it's one of those mystery lines, like the pompitous of love, take out tcp, and just what the heck Billy Joe threw off of that Tallahatchie Bridge.
