My baseball and overall sports hero, Ryne Sandberg, passed away today at the age of 65.

RIP Ryno

Wow
How did he turn 65??

Sandberg announced in January 2024 that he had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. He had chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and then said in August 2024 that he was cancer-free. But he posted on Instagram on Dec. 10 that his cancer had returned and spread to other organs.

I heard Cal superfan and Rhetoric professor, and recent Berkeley Citation winner, Nad Permaul, passed away today.

RIP

Go Bears Forever

Before Bear Insider and Greybear's Cyberbears Growls, Nad was the original Cal sports online content creator, with the GoBears email newsletter which came out in the early 90s.

RIP Nad.

I very much remember those days and those posts.

I knew Nad when I was an undergrad and I think he was a grad, but it's been many years. Great guy; great Golden Bear. Is it confirmed that he passed away?
