We might have the market cornered on fine Irvin Kershner eulogies, but I hand it over to Patric Hruby to do the honors for this weekend's other illustrious deceased: "Enrico Pallazzo, an acclaimed Italian opera singer who achieved greater international fame by thwarting an assassination attempt on the queen of England while working as a baseball umpire, died Sunday. He was 84." Slow clap. [ESPN via Twitter]
