TV/film actor who has mostly been on stage:
John McMartin, is there any newspaper articles or information on he and his career out there anywhere.
I saw him about a week ago on a Rockford Files as a killer, and it reminded me on how good of an actor he is.

Chuck Tanner, who led the Pittsburgh Pirates to the 1979 World Series championship, has died.

He was 81.

Born July 4, 1929 in New Castle, Lawrence County, Tanner led the Pirates to second-place finishes in the National League East during his first two seasons as manager. In 1979 they won 98 games, held off the Montreal Expos and captured the division by two games.

Tony Malinosky, the former Brooklyn Dodger who was the oldest-living major-leaguer, passed away Tuesday at age 101, the Los Angeles Dodgers said.


Malinosky played 35 games at third base and shortstop for Brooklyn in 1937, batting .228 in 79 at-bats. According to Baseball-Reference.com, his career-best performance was a 3-for-5 day against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Dodgers purchased his contract from the Pittsburgh Pirates the previous winter.

Born Oct. 7, 1909 in Collinsville, Ill., Malinosky attended Whittier College in California with Pres. Richard Nixon, according to the Dodgers, and served in the U.S. Army in World War II.

The Dodgers honored him at Dodger Stadium in 2009 on the occasion of his 100th birthday. He was living in Oxnard, Calif. when he passed away.

"Tony lived an incredibly full life, both on and off the field," the Dodgers said in a statement. "He remained a Dodger fan his whole life and his visit to Dodger Stadium in 2009 gave the organization a great opportunity to celebrate not only his 100th birthday, but the Dodger chapter of his life that meant so much to him. He will be most certainly missed by all who knew him."
