But you still can't win championships or prevent your players from crashing aeroplanes.

In terms of celebrity plane crashes, I think Lidle ranks somewhere between Aaliyah and Payne Stewart; and he's only that high because people thought it was terrorists at first.

If the Yanks wouldn't have choked again this year and done something in the playoffs, he might have ranked up with John Denver and Otis Redding. If he woudld've gotten a perfect game in the world series he coudlve risen as high as SRV and Buddy Holly.

But alas, Lidle is cementing his spot in history as the 30th-37th (undetermined at this time) most noteworthy or spectacular celebrity aviation deaths.

Bummer dude.
