A
former California Little League coach is backpedaling after suing one
of his players for more than half a million dollars. Alan Beck’s suit
claims that the 14-year-old “carelessly threw his helmet” while rounding
the bases after a walk-off hit in March, KCRA reports.
Beck says the helmet hit him, and caused him to tear his Achilles
tendon, though he didn’t have surgery until December. Now, he’s seeking
more than $100,000 for medical expenses, and $500,000 for pain and
suffering. “At first, I thought it was a joke,” says the boy’s father.
He says he lacks homeowner’s insurance, and can’t afford to fight the
suit. “I’ve already spent over $4,000 and we haven’t even been in a
courtroom yet.”

unorthodox.”

Duccini died of natural causes in Solari Hospice Care Center in Las Vegas on Thursday.
“It was long hours and heavy costumes. We didn’t have much time for ourselves. It was all new to me then, and I loved being a part of what is now a classic,” she said.
Duccini met her husband while working at MGM, and the two had a son and daughter.

Seems Neil young is causing quite a stink about the stink up in the oilsands.
The last guy to get this much negative publicity was when Billy Bob Thornton gave Jian Ghomeshi a hard time on CBC’s “Q!”

AND FINALLY:
It’s with a heavy heart that we announce Ruth Robinson Duccini, the last of the original female Munchkins from the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, has died.
She was 95.
With her death, only one actor who played one of the original 124 Munchkins in the movie remains alive.
Duccini died of natural causes in Solari Hospice Care Center in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Her death was confirmed by Stephen Cox, author of The Munchkins of Oz. He says he learned of it from Duccini’s son.
Duccini, born in Rush City, Minn., travelled to California with a
troupe little people, and was cast in the MGM fantasy movie starring
Judy Garland. Duccini was 4 feet tall.
Cox provided a recent statement made by Duccini about her time on the movie set.“It was long hours and heavy costumes. We didn’t have much time for ourselves. It was all new to me then, and I loved being a part of what is now a classic,” she said.
Duccini met her husband while working at MGM, and the two had a son and daughter.
MEANWHILE: Jerry Maren, 93, is the last surviving Munchkin from the film “The Wizard of Oz.” (Nick Ut/Associated Press)
(Unfortunately, none of the Munchkins made it big after “The Wizard of Oz!” They were mostly overlooked for parts!)
