Obit watch.

Wow. Steinbrenner’s dead?

Edited to add: NYT quotes reactions from various folks, including Yogi Berra and Don Zimmer. Billy Martin was unavailable for comment.

I have seen reports that SF writer James P. Hogan passed away yesterday; however, I consider those reports unconfirmed at this point, as there is nothing on the Locus web site yet. I’ve been checking periodically; if I get confirmation, I will note it here. (Edited to add 2: Locus is now confirming the reports of Hogan’s death.)

For what it may be worth, here are links to Harvey Pekar obits from the NYT and the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Also among the dead: Tuli Kupferberg, founding member of The Fugs.
