Yes, indeed ... Santa Claus. Is. Dead.
Just to be clear, I'm not trying to damage your young 'uns (or your old 'uns who still believe [who am I to judge?]), but I am reporting the news from earlier this month that Frank Olivo has died.
Growing up in central PA, I would have thought I'd have seen this on the Facebook, but luckily the local southern Florida paper covered the story and informed me that the man who was a substitute Santa at the 1968 game between the Eagles and the Vikings ... and who was booed and snowballed whilst "Here Comes Santa Claus" was played on the sideline ... passed away at the age of 66.
You who represented just how dicky Philly fans can be -- Frankie O -- you will continue to live in infamy ... and you will be missed (although maybe not by any of those darn Philadelphia grumps -- I hope they didn't cheer at your funeral.)
