The Oscars

I hope this hasn't been done...I can only scroll through so many screens of "Oscar" search results.

Who is your favourite? I can probably guess the winner, but maybe not. If someone's missing, it's because the bar was set at people-Clemenza-has-heard-of.

I'm going to split the difference as to my obligations as a baseball fan. I should be voting for Oscar Charleston, who's in the Hall of Fame. But there's no way I can't vote for the other baseball guy.

I'm crestfallen that my Oscar poll has not captured the public's imagination.

The Big 'O' for me, hoopster par excellence!

Never got to see him play, unfortunately.

Weird thing I hung onto from when I was living above a satellite TV store in the '90s:

Years before, Oscar Peterson rented space somewhere in the building and used it as a studio. I used to pick up my mail in the office; this was in there with my own one day. I did make an attempt to locate Peterson, who may or may not have been living in Mississauga (just outside of Toronto) at the time, but there was barely any internet, and that went nowhere. So I just kept it. I've never opened it, so no idea what it is, although going by this site, it may be payment of some sort.
