New details emerge surrounding four-time Stanley Cup winner Claude Lemieux's death

Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed deputies responded to an apparent suicide at a Lake Park store

 He was not on the list.

Claude Lemieux, a four-time Stanley Cup champion, died after taking his own life, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed. He was 60.

Authorities said Thursday that deputies responded shortly after 3 a.m. to the scene of an apparent suicide at the family’s furniture store in Lake Park, Florida. The officer said the victim was believed to be Lemieux, who was found in a rear warehouse by one of his sons.

Lemieux broke into the league with the Montreal Canadiens and was part of their Stanley Cup-winning team in 1986.

He won four Stanley Cups in his career and in 1995 and 1996 became the 10th player in NHL history to win back-to-back Stanley Cups with different teams, first with the New Jersey Devils and then with the Colorado Avalanche.

After the 1995 Stanley Cup Final, Lemieux was also awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy. In his postseason career, Lemieux had 158 points (80G, 78A) in 234 games played.

Lemieux last played in the NHL with the San Jose Sharks, and retired in 2009.

In all, he appeared in 1,215 NHL games for the Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, Colorado Avalanche, Phoenix Coyotes, Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks.

He went on to become a player agent, and oddly enough, according to North State Journal, represented Carolina Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen.

Lemieux was born in Buckingham, Quebec and grew up in Mont-Laurier. He was drafted in the second round of the 1983 NHL entry draft by the Montreal Canadiens and played with them from 1983–1990, winning his first Stanley Cup with the team in 1986. In 1990, he was traded to the Devils, with whom he played five seasons and won a second Stanley Cup. He was traded to the Colorado Avalanche in 1995 and won his third Stanley Cup during the 1996 Cup Final. During the playoffs that season, Lemieux hit Kris Draper of the Detroit Red Wings from behind, breaking Draper's orbital, cheek, and jaw bones, and sparking a vicious rivalry between the Avalanche and Red Wings. In 1999, Lemieux was traded back to the Devils and won a fourth Stanley Cup with them in the 2000 Cup Final. Over the next few seasons, he played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars. Lemieux left the NHL in 2003 and briefly joined EV Zug of the Swiss Nationalliga A before retiring as a player. In 2005, he was named president of the ECHL's Phoenix RoadRunners, a position he held for two years. Lemieux returned to the NHL with the San Jose Sharks for the 2008–09 season, but retired again after that year. Following his retirement, Lemieux became a sports agent, serving in the role until his death.

His son, Brendan Lemieux, is also a former NHL player, who plays for HC Davos of the National League in Switzerland.

Lemieux was drafted in the second round of the 1983 NHL entry draft by the Montreal Canadiens. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound wing scored 379 goals and made 407 assists for a career point total of 786. He played with the Canadiens from 1983–1990, winning the Stanley Cup with the team in 1986 with Lemieux scoring 10 goals as a rookie in his first playoffs.

In September 1990, Lemieux was traded to the New Jersey Devils for Sylvain Turgeon. Lemieux won his second Stanley Cup in 1995 as New Jersey defeated the Detroit Red Wings. Completing the postseason with 13 goals, he also won the Conn Smythe Trophy that year as the playoff MVP.

Shortly before the beginning of the 1995–96 season, Lemieux was traded to the Colorado Avalanche in a three-team deal that also involved Wendel Clark and Steve Thomas. When the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996, Lemieux became the tenth player to win back-to-back Stanley Cups with different teams.

In November 1999, Lemieux was traded back to New Jersey in a deal that sent Brian Rolston to Colorado. He won his fourth and final Stanley Cup title with the Devils in 2000. In that offseason, Lemieux signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Coyotes.

In January 2003, the Coyotes traded him to the Dallas Stars for Scott Pellerin and a conditional draft pick. Lemieux ended his NHL playing career with Dallas after the 2002–03 season. He played briefly the following season for EV Zug of the Swiss Nationalliga A.

In September 2008, on RDS, Lemieux expressed an interest in making a comeback to the NHL. He began the season with the China Sharks of the Asia League Ice Hockey before signing a contract with the Worcester Sharks on November 25. After scoring two goals and six points in 14 games with Worcester, Lemieux signed a two-way contract with the San Jose Sharks on December 29, 2008. The following day, he cleared waivers and continued to play for Worcester. On January 19, 2009, the San Jose Sharks recalled Lemieux to the NHL; on February 19, he recorded the first (and only) NHL point of his comeback, assisting on Milan Michalek's second-period goal against the Los Angeles Kings. That same year, the Sharks won the Presidents' Trophy.

Lemieux represented Canada three times in international competitions. He made his first international appearance as a member of the Canadian national junior team at the 1985 World Junior Championships in Helsinki, Finland. Lemieux finished the tournament with 3 goals and 2 assists in 6 games to help Canada win its second World Junior gold medal. Lemieux was also a member of the 1987 Canada Cup winning team where he tallied 2 points in 6 games. His final appearance in international play came when he was selected to the Team Canada roster for the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. Lemieux picked up 19 penalty minutes in the eight games as Canada finished second.

After retiring from the NHL, Lemieux was often a guest on TSN's Off the Record with Michael Landsberg, sharing insights on his playing days in the NHL. At the time of his death, he was President of the sports agency 4sports Hockey, representing 16 clients, including Timo Meier, Moritz Seider, Rickard Rakell, and Hampus Lindholm.

Jay Daniel, Peacemaking Producer on ‘Moonlighting’ and ‘Roseanne,’ Dies at 82

He also worked with Glenn Gordon Caron on the Michael Keaton movie ‘Clean and Sober’ and with Cybill Shepherd on her CBS sitcom.

 He was not on the list.

Jay Daniel, the two-time Emmy-nominated producer who kept the chaos in check on the popular but difficult to make ABC series Moonlighting and Roseanne, has died. He was 82.

Daniel died Wednesday at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center of a pneumonia-related illness, his wife, artist Vicky Daniel, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Daniel also partnered with Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron on Clean and Sober, the 1988 Warner Bros. film that starred Michael Keaton, in his first dramatic turn, as a real estate agent struggling with addictions to cocaine and alcohol.

Plus, he lured Moonlighting star Cybill Shepherd back to television by developing her 1995-98 CBS sitcom Cybill, created by Chuck Lorre.

Daniel was with Caron from the very beginning of Moonlighting, which starred Shepherd as Maddie Hayes, owner of the struggling Blue Moon Detective Agency, and Bruce Willis as David Addison, the playful private eye who goes to work for her.

The 20th Century Fox midseason replacement, which ran five seasons from 1985-89, became notorious for missing deadlines, with the perfectionist Caron often waiting until the last minute to write, shoot and/or edit the light-hearted, hourlong program. Further complications ensued when Shepherd got pregnant and when she feuded with Willis.

Daniel was given the difficult task of keeping the train running on time, and he told The New York Times in 1986 that “we’re just about as close as you can get to being live without being live.”

“I think a lot of the success of Moonlighting, when you look back on it, came out of spontaneity,” he noted in a 2005 interview. “At the time it was chaos, you know, the script wasn’t ready, Glenn had to go write something now or we’d have to shut down.

“His back was to the wall, and he’d go in the room and write this thing and you’d look at it and go, ‘OK, let’s shoot it,’ and then it was done. It was written the day before, sometimes the morning of, and done by the end of the day. And you know what? It was pretty damn good. Sometimes it was great.”

Daniel stuck around as showrunner for the show’s final season after Caron was fired, then joined Roseanne for its third year. On the sitcom, star Roseanne Barr often walked off the set after arguing with the writers.

“They thought of me because I had somehow kept Moonlighting going in spite of all the tumult, especially the problems between Bruce and Cybill,” he said. “It was well known that somehow Moonlighting kept going when it could have imploded at any second. So the network brought me onto Roseanne to calm the waters and try to deal with her concerns.

“It was more about the actress than it was about the strong female character she was playing. It was about me going into the lion’s den with a whip and a chair and dealing with an actor who could be very volatile, although I must say she never raised her voice to me, not once. To a lot of other people she did, but for some reason, never to me. I ended up doing that show for the better part of five seasons.”

On X, Caron wrote Thursday that there would have been “no Moonlighting without Jay Daniel. Probably no Roseanne. Definitely no Cybill. Certainly no Clean and Sober. He was simply the best.”

One of two boys, Jay Mills Daniel was born in Cushing, Oklahoma, on June 1, 1943. He graduated from Oklahoma State University and attended graduate school at UCLA as a theater arts major, wanting to be an actor. He landed an agent and appeared as a snack bar drive-in attendant in Targets (1968), the directorial debut of Peter Bogdanovich.

He decided his future was on the other side of the camera and got into the DGA trainee program, leading to a stint as an assistant director on ABC’s The Brady Bunch.

In 1973-76, he served as a unit production manager, A.D. and associate producer on NBC’s Police Story before producing the 1979-80 NBC crime series Eischied, starring Joe Don Baker.

In 1984, Daniel received a Daytime Emmy for outstanding children’s informational/instructional special for producing a CBS Schoolbreak Special episode about a man on Death Row who advises kids not to make the same mistakes he made.

He and Caron first worked together that year on Concrete Beat, a pilot for an ABC series that starred John Getz as a newspaper columnist, but it was not picked up.

“On June first of 1984, I get a call from Glenn saying, ‘You know, they want me to do this boy/girl detective thing, and they’ve given me a ‘go’ on it. Would you like to do it?’” Daniel recalled. “I said, ‘Sure,’ and that turned out to be Moonlighting. June 1 is my birthday — best present I’ve ever been given.

“Glenn took two months to write the script, and we had a long, long time to cast it. I’m sure you know all those stories. We cast Cybill early on, in July of that year, and we didn’t start shooting until October. They picked us up immediately after we delivered the pilot. I became part of Glenn’s company [Picturemaker Productions], and Moonlighting became my life.”

Daniel, Caron and others shared outstanding drama series nominations for Moonlighting in 1986 and 1987 (they lost to Cagney & Lacey and then L.A. Law), and he got to direct four episodes of the series.

He worked on Clean and Sober, Caron’s directorial debut, between the third and fourth seasons of Moonlighting.

After ending his run on Roseanne in 1994, Daniel said he “was able to convince [Shepherd] to come back to television, even after what she’d been through on Moonlighting,” and he spent three seasons as an executive producer on the sitcom about a 40ish career woman with two ex-husbands and a teenage daughter.

Daniel also was a producer on ABC’s The Naked Truth in 1997, The WB’s Maybe It’s Me in 2001-02 and ABC’s Hot Properties in 2005.

In addition to his wife of 46 years — she was a dancer when they met on a set and were together for 50 years — survivors include his niece, Lori.

George Bork obit

George Bork, legendary NIU football and basketball player, dies at 84

 He was not on the list.

DEKALB, Ill. (WREX) — Northern Illinois University Athletics Hall of Famer George Bork has died at the age of 84, NIU Athletics announced Thursday.

Bork was a two-sport standout at NIU and the first Huskie inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He was the first quarterback in NCAA history to throw for more than 3,000 yards.

In his senior season in 1963, Bork threw for 3,077 yards and 32 touchdowns while leading NIU to a perfect 10-0 season, a Mineral Water Bowl victory and the College Division national championship.

During his four-year football career between 1960-63, Bork completed 577 passes for 6,782 yards and 60 touchdowns.

Several NIU passing records are still in Bork's name, including career completion percentage at 64 percent and single-season touchdown passes with 32 in 1963. He also holds single-game records for completions with 43 on Nov. 9, 1963 against Central Michigan and touchdowns with seven on Sept. 14, 1963 against Wisconsin-Whitewater.

Huskie Stadium, which went under construction just after the historic 1963 season, earned the nickname "The House the Bork Built." Bork went on to play in the Canadian Football League for the Montreal Alouettes from 1964-67.

Beyond football, Bork also starred on the basketball court for the Huskies, scoring 1,114 points in three seasons. He earned team MVP honors as well as First Team All-IIAC and IIAC Player of the Year recognition.

Bork was named to NIU's All-Century Team in both football and basketball. He was inducted into the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1983, his football jersey number 11 was retired in 1996 and he became the first Huskie enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.

Information regarding a celebration of life for Bork will be announced later.

The 6–1, 185 pound Bork rewrote the Northern Illinois University football record book with some help from end Hugh Rohrschneider during his junior and senior years at the DeKalb school. In 1962, Bork broke 14 college passing records ranging from yardage gained to best completion percentage. The following year, he bettered 10 of his records, tied one and set nine more for a total of 20. He also set a record of 244 pass completions during the 1963 NIU season.

Bork was the first college quarterback at any level to throw for 3,000 yards in one season. Bork first played football at Arlington High School, where he was an all-conference selection. Offered a basketball scholarship to Michigan, the athlete turned it down because he wanted to play football.

He played in 1964 to 1967 with the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League, while with the Alouettes he worked as a gym teacher at Sir Winston Churchill High School in Ville St-Laurent he then signed with the Chicago Owls of the Continental Football League in 1968.

He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.

Joe Schwarz obit

Former Michigan congressmen Joe Schwarz dies at 88

 

He was not on the list.

Schwarz, a Republican, was first elected to public office in 1984 as mayor of Battle Creek, the city in which he was born and raised. He served for two years before he was elected to the Michigan Senate to represent its 20th district, before being elected to represent the 24th district in 1994.

He first ran for Michigan’s 7th congressional district in 1992, where he lost to Nick Smith in the Republican primary. In 2004, following Smith’s retirement, he ran once again, winning the Republican nomination and defeating Democrat Sharon Renier in the general election.

Schwarz served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives before he was defeated by Tim Walberg in the 2006 primary.

After leaving office, he served on former governor Jennifer Granholm’s Emergency Financial Advisory Panel and reappointed as a trustee for the Altarum Institute, a nonprofit health policy organization. He also accepted a teaching position at the University of Michigan, where he received his bachelor’s degree in history, beginning his tenure at the university’s public policy school in 2007.

Before becoming a politician, Schwarz was a Navy veteran, enlisting after graduating from Wayne State University Medical School in 1964. He served for five years in Vietnam and Indonesia, eventually working with the Defense Intelligence Agency and serving in the CIA. He left the CIA in 1970 to complete an otolaryngology residency before moving back to Battle Creek in 1974, where he worked as a physician.

Today, Michigan lost a leader and a hero, Dr. Joe Schwarz. Joe was not only a mentor but a friend. A proud Wolverine, he offered rivalry on game days and laughs on tough days.

He led a life of service and embodied everything that makes our state so special.

He was a reminder that we can sit on different sides of the aisle — and even cheer for opposing teams — yet still find common ground serving the people of Michigan. As a physician, a professor, and a representative, Joe led a life that put people first.

My condolences go out to his family and loved ones. Joe will be dearly missed.

Terry Don Phillips obit

Terry Don Phillips

August 29, 1947 — May 26, 2026

 

He was not on the list.

Dr. Terry Don Phillips, who made some of the most significant coaching hires in Clemson history during his 10 years (2002-12) as athletic director, passed away early Tuesday morning in Clemson, SC. Phillips, 78, had been in hospice care after being diagnosed with dementia over a decade ago.

Among the coaches he hired are current football coach Dabo Swinney, current men’s basketball coach Brad Brownell and current men’s soccer coach Mike Noonan.

Swinney is the winningest football coach in Clemson history and Brownell is the winningest men’s basketball coach. Clemson is the only Division I school in the nation where the current men’s basketball and football coaches are the winningest in school history.

Noonan has won two national championships (2021 and 2023) and Swinney has won two national championships (2016 and 2018). Those are four of the six national titles in school history. A fifth, the 2003 golf national championship under Larry Penley, was earned in Phillips first year as athletic director.

Over his 10 years as Clemson athletic director, Clemson won 13 ACC Championships in eight different sports, including five different women’s sports. Clemson athletic programs had 57 top 25 national finishes, 37 top 20s, and 14 top 10s during his time leading the program. Fifteen different sports had a top 25 finish, including six different sports that recorded a top 10 finish in that time frame.

Clemson went to the Final Four of national tournaments in three different sports during this time, Baseball, women’s tennis and men’s soccer.

A major facility enhancement took place in every program over his 10 years with an investment over $140 million with just $25 million of debt. The combined unrestricted fund reserve grew approximately 90 percent between 2002-12 

Phillips was inducted into the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019 and was also made an Honorary Alumnus of Clemson University by the Clemson Alumni Association on August 22, 2019.

Phillips came to Clemson after serving as the athletic director at Oklahoma State from 1994-2002. During his career in Stillwater, Oklahoma State won a pair of national championships in men ’s golf, reached the Final Four in men’s basketball and made two trips to the College World Series. Additionally, Oklahoma State won 13 Big 12 Championships and had 11 individual national champions across various sports.

Phillips began his 42-year career in college athletics as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Arkansas, his alma mater, in 1970. He then became an assistant coach at Virginia Tech from 1971-78 where he worked with former Clemson head coaches Danny Ford and Charley Pell.

He then moved into administration and became the athletic director at Liberty University in 1980-81, then at Southwestern Louisiana from 1981-88.

Phillips returned to his alma mater as a senior associate athletic director under Frank Broyles in 1988 and remained there until 1994 when he became the athletic director at Oklahoma State.

Phillips was a three-year letterman as a defensive lineman at Arkansas under Broyles and played in the famous Arkansas vs. Texas game of 1969. He lettered in 1966, 1968 and 1969 and the Razorbacks posted a 27-5 record.

Phillips was inducted into the University of Arkansas Hall of Honor in 2010.

Phillips earned his undergraduate degree from Arkansas in 1970, earned a Master’s degree from Virginia Tech in 1974 and his Ph.D from Virginia Tech in 1978. He earned his J.D. degree from Arkansas in 1996.

He continued to teach a sports law class while he was the athletic director at Clemson.

Born in Longview, Texas, Phillips was the third son to Verna (Zimmerman) and Loyd Fay Phillips, and raised in east Texas with his two brothers, David Neal and Loyd Wade.

When Terry Don was diagnosed with an unspecified type of dementia after his 2012 retirement, he and Tricia were determined to “make the best of a journey nobody wants.” Their intentionality to find joy in every day brought laughter, traveling backroads across the U.S. with their beloved yellow lab, Atticus, and a lot of ice cream. It also created an opportunity for friends and family across the country to share visits, fond memories and special words of affirmation when it meant the most to Terry Don.

Phillips is survived by his wife Tricia Brown Phillips, beloved children, Sarah-Jane Mayer, Fayetteville, Ark.; husband Jonathan; John Dennis Phillips, Phoenix, Az. Meagan Stone, Duncan, SC; Marshall Stone, Carrollton, Ga; wife Ashley; Madison Archer Stone, Jupiter, Fla. and grandchildren Shelby and Will Mayer, both students at The University of Arkansas; Darcy and Derek Schall; Ozzy Stone.

A private burial and service will be held at a later date in Quitman, Texas.

He served as the athletic director at Liberty Baptist College—now known as Liberty University—from 1980 to 1981, at the University of Southwestern Louisiana—now known as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette—from 1983 to 1988, at Oklahoma State University from 1995 to 2002, and at Clemson University from 2002 to 2012.

Phillips played defensive tackle at Arkansas from 1966 to 1969. His older brother, Loyd Phillips, was an All-American defensive lineman for Arkansas between 1964 and 1966, and won the 1966 Outland Trophy.

Phillips remained at Arkansas as a graduate assistant for the 1970 and 1971 seasons, before moving to Virginia Tech as an assistant coach. Phillips left Virginia Tech after 1978. He then joined the Florida Gators coaching staff as an administrative assistant to head coach Charley Pell.

In 1980, Phillips became athletic director at Liberty University. He then served as the assistant athletic director at the University of Missouri. He moved to Louisiana–Lafayette in 1983, before returning to his alma mater, Arkansas, in 1988 as Senior Associate Athletic Director.

Phillips stayed at Arkansas until 1994, and then left for the AD job at Oklahoma State once it became apparent that then-Arkansas AD Frank Broyles had no intention of retiring. Under Phillips, the Cowboys basketball team continued their success under coach Eddie Sutton, reaching the NCAA Final Four in 1995 and the Elite Eight in 2000. In football, Phillips hired coach Les Miles in 2001, who would turn the program around and lead the team to 3 straight bowl bids after Phillips left the school.

In 2002 Phillips left Oklahoma State for Clemson. There, he has overseen the hiring of basketball coaches Oliver Purnell in 2003 and Brad Brownell in 2010. He also promoted Dabo Swinney to head football coach and oversaw the "WestZone" expansion of Memorial Stadium in 2006.

Phillips was inducted into the University of Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor in 2010.

Donald E. Newhouse, son of Samuel I. Newhouse, dies at 96

 

He was not on the list.

Donald Newhouse, former leader of Advance Publication’s newspaper division and son of Samuel I. Newhouse Sr., died Tuesday at 96 at his New Jersey estate, nj.com first reported. Donald’s son Steven Newhouse confirmed that the cause of death was lymphoma, The New York Times reported.

Both Donald and his brother Samuel I. Newhouse Jr. attended Syracuse University and left college early to join their father’s company, the Times reported. After Donald left SU, he became a circulation manager at The Long Island Press.

Samuel I. Newhouse Sr. purchased the Staten Island Advance in 1922 and began to expand his privately held media conglomerate from there. Donald and his older brother, who died in 2017, inherited the empire after their father’s death in 1979.

In 1964, after a gift from Samuel I. Newhouse Sr., SU opened the Newhouse I building. Seven years later, in 1971, the Newhouse School of Public Communications was officially formed when SU’s School of Journalism merged with its television and radio academic program, named in honor of the school’s main benefactor. The S.I. Newhouse Foundation donated $15 million in 2003 to fund the construction of Newhouse 3.

Donald announced in 2020 that the foundation would pledge $75 million to the Newhouse School, the largest gift in SU’s history.

In 2024, Donald returned to SU to unveil the Newhouse Family Plaza during the Newhouse School’s 60th anniversary celebrations.

“I am fortunate to have the chance, in the same month that I celebrate my 95th birthday, to look back with overwhelming pride at the record of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. It is one of the great joys of my life,” Donald said at the event.

Advance Publications, through its subsidiary Condé Nast, runs several magazines, including The New Yorker, Architectural Digest and Wired, in addition to media organizations across the country. Donald, however, ran the newspaper subsidiary, which included large papers like The Oregonian and The Plain Dealer.

Although he maintained the title of president, Donald stepped back from Advance Publications’ operations in the mid-2000s, the Times reported. He instead put effort into research and awareness of frontotemporal degeneration, a form of dementia that his wife Susan Marley died from.

“Donald Newhouse was always clear and confident about his values as an owner and as a newspaperman,” Sandra Mims Rowe, leader of The Oregonian from 1993-2010, said. “Newspapers were in his DNA, and it showed.”

He owned Advance Publications. It was founded in 1922 by his father, Samuel Irving Newhouse Sr., and its properties include Condé Nast (publisher of such magazines as Vogue, Tatler, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker), dozens of newspapers across the U.S. (including The Star-Ledger, The Plain Dealer, and The Oregonian), a stake in cable company Charter Communications, and a stake in Warner Bros. Discovery. According to Forbes, he had an estimated net worth of $11 billion as of June 2024. He resided in New York City.

Newhouse was born in New York City to a Jewish family. Newhouse's father, Samuel Irving Newhouse Sr., was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and began the family media business. His mother, Mitzi Epstein, was an arts patron and philanthropist who grew up in an upper middle class family on the Upper West Side, the daughter of a silk tie importer. Newhouse was included on The Jerusalem Post's list of the world's 50 richest Jews in 2010

Longtime Atlanta Braves infielder Bob Horner dies at 68

He was not on the list.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Longtime Atlanta Braves infielder Bob Horner died Tuesday, according to the team. He was 68.

His cause of death is currently unknown.

Horner, who was selected by Atlanta with the No. 1 overall pick in 1978 and famously reached the majors without ever playing a minor league game, played for Atlanta from 1978-86, racking up 1,047 hits, 218 home runs and 685 RBIs while earning one All-Star selection (1982). He was named National League Rookie of the Year in 1978 after slashing .266/.313/.539 with 23 home runs and 63 RBIs.

He was also the first Atlanta player to ever hit four home runs in a single game. That happened in 1986 against the Montreal Expos.

“Bob Horner built a career out of being first,” the team said in a statement. “The Atlanta Braves extend sincere sympathies to his wife, Chris, two sons, Tyler and Trent, and his numerous friends and fans across the game.”

Horner paired with Dale Murphy to form one of the league’s most formidable power-hitting duos for contending Braves teams in the early 1980s. Horner hit 30 home runs in a season three times — in 1979, 1980 and 1982 — while receiving Most Valuable Player votes in three different seasons. During Horner’s tenure with Atlanta, Murphy won back-to-back National League MVP awards in 1982 and 1983.

The team did not retain Horner following the 1986 season, and he went unsigned in the major leagues during the 1987 campaign. Determined to keep playing, Horner signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Yakult Swallows of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball.

He returned to the majors and played one season for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1988, posting a .703 OPS in 60 games, largely limited by a lingering shoulder injury that dated to his college days at Arizona State University, before announcing his retirement on March 9, 1989.

After a record-setting NCAA College athletic career with the Arizona State Sun Devils baseball team, Horner bypassed the minor leagues and moved directly to the major leagues, where together with Dale Murphy, he formed a power-hitting tandem for the Atlanta Braves teams of the early 1980s. Horner averaged 35 home runs and 109 runs batted in per his 162-game average and became the 11th player in Major League Baseball history to hit four home runs in one game on July 6, 1986.

Horner became a victim of the Major League Baseball collusion scandal of 1986–87 after the courts found that owners had illegally shared information during free agency negotiations seeking to deflate player salaries. He was among hundreds of players and former players who were awarded millions of dollars in lost salary. He played the 1987 season in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Yakult Swallows, before returning to play one final season in MLB with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1988. A string of injuries prematurely ended Horner's baseball career after just 11 seasons. He was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame as a member of its inaugural class on July 4, 2006.

Horner was born in Junction City, Kansas, but grew up in Glendale, Arizona. He attended Apollo High School, where he set school records.

As a freshman at Arizona State in 1976, he hit .339 with 42 RBI and nine home runs (tied with Ike Davis for third all-time by a Sun Devil freshman, two behind Barry Bonds) as ASU won the Western Athletic Conference championship and made a trip to the College World Series.

As a sophomore, Horner was a First Team All-American as he hit .389 with 87 RBI and a school record 22 home runs as ASU again won the WAC title. The Sun Devils went on to win the 1977 College World Series with Horner winning the Most Outstanding Player award.

In his junior and final season at ASU, Horner hit .412, 100 RBI and a new school-record 25 home runs, leading the team to a third-consecutive conference title and another trip to the College World Series.

His college career at Arizona State University culminated with Horner again being named a First Team All-American and the first winner of the Golden Spikes Award, college baseball's equivalent of the Heisman Trophy.

Overall, at ASU, Horner batted .383 with a then-NCAA and still-standing ASU record 56 home runs and 229 RBI.

Horner was drafted by Atlanta with the first overall pick in the 1978 amateur draft, and he made his Major League Baseball debut the same year. He is among the few players who went straight from college to a starting position in the major leagues without spending any time in the minors. In his first game, he belted a home run off future Hall of Fame pitcher Bert Blyleven of the Pirates. In 89 games, Horner batted .266 with 23 home runs and 63 runs batted in in 323 at-bats, with an on-base percentage of .313 and a slugging percentage of .539. His 23 home runs led all National League third basemen in 1978. He won the National League Rookie of the Year award over Ozzie Smith.

In 1985, Horner played 130 games and finished with a .267 batting average, 27 home runs, and 89 RBIs. In 1986, Horner set personal career highs. On July 6, 1986, in a game against the Expos, he became the eleventh player in Major League Baseball history to hit four home runs in a single game and only the second one to do so in a game that his team lost (the first one being Ed Delahanty). Later in the season, after hitting a record 210 career home runs without a grand slam home run, Horner finally belted a homer with the bases loaded to give the Braves a 4–2 victory over the Pirates. Horner's record for homers without a grand slam stood until 1998 when Sammy Sosa surpassed the mark by hitting his first grand slam on the 248th home run of his career.

Robert Daley, Author Of 'Prince Of The City', Dies At 96

 

Robert Daley, author of 'Prince Of The City', leaves behind a powerful body of work shaped by policing, corruption, conscience and urban power.

He was not on the list.

Robert Daley, the author and former New York City deputy police commissioner whose books brought the machinery of policing, corruption and urban power to the page, has died at 96. Daley was best known for 'Prince of the City', his 1978 nonfiction account of police corruption that later became Sidney Lumet’s acclaimed 1981 film of the same name.

Daley’s career was unusually wide-ranging. Born in New York City in 1930, he graduated from Fordham University in 1951 and served in the US Air Force during the Korean War. Before becoming known as an author, he worked as publicity director for the New York Giants during the era of players such as Frank Gifford, Charlie Conerly and Sam Huff. He later joined The New York Times, serving on its foreign staff from Europe and North Africa.

His time inside the New York Police Department gave his writing its defining authority. Daley served as deputy commissioner of the NYPD in 1971 and 1972, a turbulent period marked by police corruption investigations, organised crime violence, major robberies and attacks on officers. He later drew on that experience in 'Target Blue: An Insider’s View of the N.Y.P.D.', giving readers a close look at the inner workings, pressures and contradictions of the force.

'Prince of the City' became his most enduring work. The book followed Robert Leuci, an NYPD narcotics detective whose cooperation with investigators exposed corruption within the department’s Special Investigation Unit. The story centred not only on criminal conduct, but on loyalty, guilt and the complicated moral code that shaped police life. Critics recognised its force, with contemporary commentary noting the power of Daley’s portrayal of the flawed policeman as a modern literary figure.

The film adaptation, directed by Sidney Lumet and released in 1981, starred Treat Williams as the Leuci-inspired detective Daniel Ciello. The screenplay was written by Lumet and Jay Presson Allen, based on Daley’s book. Although the film was not a major commercial success, it became an important entry in the canon of American police corruption dramas and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Daley’s work was not confined to police nonfiction. He wrote novels, sports books, works on bullfighting, wine and aviation, and several of his books were adapted for film or television. His novel 'Year of the Dragon' was adapted into Michael Cimino’s 1985 film, while 'Tainted Evidence' became Sidney Lumet’s 'Night Falls on Manhattan' in 1997.

What made Daley distinctive was his ability to move between reportage and fiction without losing the feel of lived experience. His books often carried the weight of institutions seen from the inside: police departments, courts, cities, sports teams and political hierarchies. He was drawn to people working under pressure, especially those whose public duty collided with private compromise.

Daley leaves behind a body of work shaped by access, observation and moral unease. In 'Prince of the City', he helped turn one police corruption case into a lasting study of power and conscience. That remains his signature achievement: showing that the real drama of crime often begins not with the lawbreaker outside the system, but with the compromised man inside it.

Howard Storm Dies: Veteran TV Director Of ‘Mork & Mindy,’ ‘Valerie’ And More Was 95

 

He was not on the list.

Howard Storm, a veteran television director who shot many episodes of Mork & Mindy, Rhoda, Valerie and many other shows, passed away on May 26. He was 94.

Storm’s career included an extraordinary 59-episode run on Mork & Mindy as well as episodes of ALF, Full House, Head of the Class, Major Dad, Perfect Strangers, Kenan & Kel, Everybody Loves Raymond, Angie and Doc.

Storm got his start as a a stand-up comedian. He performed in Las Vegas, opened for Andy Williams and appeared on The Merv Griffin Show more than a dozen times.

His TV acting career began in the early sixties with appearances on shows such as The Untouchables and later Love, American Style and That Girl.

At about the same time, he began crafted scripts for The Partridge Family, Happy Days and The Bob Newhart Show. He also forged an early creative bond with Woody Allen, serving as Allen’s assistant and collaborator on Bananas and Take the Money and Run.

In 1975, Storm transitioned into directing. He became closely associated with TV legends James L. Brooks and Garry Marshall, helming episodes of their classic shows, including Laverne & Shirley and Taxi.

He directed his only theatrical feature film in 1985: Once Bitten. It starred Lauren Hutton and a then-unknown Jim Carrey.

In the early aughts, Storm served as National Awards Chairman for the DGA.

Storm is survived by his sons Anthony and Casey Storm, his daughter-in-law Julia and his grandsons Leo and Sidney. He was preceded in death by his wife, Patricia.
