Brunson is 88.
He and Tommy Lasorda have/had a lot in common:
- Very overweight for most of adult life
- General unhealthy lifestyle
- Very well known and beloved in their respective fields, despite some known flaws
- Conservative politically
- Known to be outspoken and brash
- Looked old from a relatively young age
- Somehow lives/lived a long time, despite the odds highly saying otherwise, and despite various major health scares
Lasorda's luck finally ran out in January.
Doyle is so far beating the odds, though he's 6 years younger than Lasorda.
Overall I like Doyle, and think he's a charming ambassador for the game, but I have to imagine that time is running short.
