Sunday morning, it was reported that popular wrestler Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis. This got me thinking about a two part question: 1. Who’s the most famous person to die here in Minnesota? 2. Who’s the most famous non-Minnesotan (so not Herb Brooks) to die here in Minnesota?

Can't be more predictable than yankees.
Enh, at least some good came out of it. Eventually.
If Hardy can find his form from two years ago it will be a fantastic trade. Go-go was at best a defensive center fielder. If he could have learne...
I agree. The Yankees are boringly predictable.
This is why the Twins are the Twins and the Yankees are the Yankees. Let's see, should we go for Hardy or Teixera? Hmmm.
I tink peraps it is te curc of Crist, Marybet414.
If I can c(h)ime in...I left the 'H' behind years ago and indeed there is no better way. The church of Crist... Bless you all.

I don’t know how famous they are, but there was a band in the early ’70s called Chase; they did that song “Get it On” — not the great T. Rex song, but the really obnoxious horn-rock thing that went in part, “Get it on in the mornin’ now!”
Anyway, all the members of Chase were killed in a plane crash outside Jackson in SW Minnesota in 1974.
