Wait, why is this in the Sports Talk Thread?

Because.

Part owner of the Texas Rangers, former Negro Leaguer, and oh yeah, owner of numerous #1 hits on the Billboard Country Music chart, three Grammys, and a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Wife mentioned this last night (well, early this morning), and I said, "I thought he died months ago?"
Turned out I was confusing him with John Prine.

I guess now we kiss an angel good night.

Oh yeah, it was also from complications from Corona-chan.

Damn 2020.

One of the few pop country stars that I really liked. And he also tried out for the Rangers' Spring Training every year, well past his prime.
