  1. We’d be lucky if he only lived to 75. When you’re that rich you can afford to be 95 years old.

  2. Pretty disgusting honestly.

    Edit: some of you guys need help. Nutting sucks. Baseball sucks with its financial system. Too many of you act like he’s Adolf hitler though.

  3. I regret to inform you that that’s not really how “average life expectancy” works. Basic average life span figures incorporate all lives, and the overall average is significantly decreased by events like infant mortality and other deaths occurring at a young age. They don’t account for the fact that, as a person ages, they are expected to live longer (having survived things like infant mortality). It’s similar to the life expectancy in ancient times being ~35 years. People weren’t routinely dying at 35 years old; the high rate of infant and adolescent mortality drove the average down.

    For example, once a person reaches, say, 60, they are likely to *exceed* the overall “average” life expectancy, and are expected to live to about 81. If that 60 year old makes it to 65, they are expected to live to 82.5 years old. If they make it to 70, they are expected to live to about 84. And so forth.

    Bob Nutting, who is 63, has a life expectancy of 18.89 years (approximately age 82), based on the Social Security Administration’s life expectancy table: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html.

    TL;DR: The oft-cited average life expectancy for men in the U.S. of 75 years is not really applicable to Bob Nutting, because he has already reached age 63 and is therefore likely to outlive the “average” life expectancy.

  4. Do you think his daughters will field a competitive team after Bob passes?

    I’m of the opinion that his daughters will continue to treat the team as the cash printing machine it is. BC might even still be there to maximize cash flow for them 😔.

  5. The baby blood injections and being womanless will keep him around till atleast 105.

  6. I mean … I’ve suffered with with rest of you all. Decades of losing. Endless futility. Nonsensical player management. I sat though the infamous 20-0 game in-person and have the ugly green Waste Management giveaway hat to prove it. But … baseball is a game. If it doesn’t give you some kind of joy, on some level, maybe go do something else. Go hug your kids or take a walk in the sun. But maybe not with the death wishes/countdowns.
