MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. - Christopher Reeve, the chiseled, strapping "Superman" of celluloid who became another kind of hero as a force for spinal cord research after a devastating horse-riding accident, has died at 52.
Reeve, a quadriplegic for the last nine years of his life who vowed that he would one day walk again, died Sunday of complications from an infection caused by a bedsore.
They usually come in 3's. First Rodney Dangerfield and now Christopher Reeve, He died on Sunday by the way, too bad too, I have always been a big Superman fan. It was a great loss. I wonder who the next one will be?

It was Ken Caminiti
Who is that? I dont think I have ever heard of him. Elaborate for me please.
I never got over him kissing that guy in the movie he did right after Superman. Some weird, gay lover, guilty, murderer movie.
Ive heard stories caminiti was so badly injured from playing ball so hard he had to resort to crack to keep the pain away. Similar to kurt cobain. Its too bad. The media turns these guys out to be villans when really they're just in need of medicinal crack...
But seriously, he was a very good ball player with a lotta heart was one of the best intimidators right next to randy johnson and bob gibson.
And yes, he was 41.
It just reminds us how precious life is and why we love 914s. Its all about the ride and building / maintaining something that works. Oh yeah, and having something to talk about with you guys!!!!!!1
I'll miss Rodney I really will, I regret that Superman didn't walk too, and its sad to hear of a ball player that rises to the top, only to fall... way too soon.
I still dont like giants fans, but its okay if you dont hate me. lol.
I love the rivarly. Its great for baseball, and I think the rivarly is the best in professional sports (uh no... im not biased). The only Giant I can tolerate is barry bonds because he is so fricken talented, and he actually got in a fight with Jeff Kent-evil for bashing one of his teammates... a standup guy no matter what the papers say!
I saw Rodney Dangerfield on Jimmy Kimmel a few months ago and he looked bad... even beer has an expiration date.
I'm the age where Superman was my hero throughout the Superman movies. These last years I followed him closer than ever reading article after article about his successes after his injury. It humbled me and sometimes made me stop and think about how grateful I am for being able to run, let alone walk. With all the hard driving most of us do, something like this could easily happen to anyone. Would I have the same drive Superman did had something like this happened to me? I would hope so.
Superman will always be just that to me from my childhood to my present adult life now.
RIP Superman
