Hale Leads Omelette to Victory, Dies

Fred Hale, the world's oldest man, led the Western Omelette to victory on Tuesday, 109-98 over the Goats. It was the 2nd straight week in which the Omelette had answered all 4th round questions correctly, a new JGT record. After the match, Hale was ecstatic. "First the Red Sox win the Series, then I get a win at quizzo! I can finally die in peace." And die he did, just two weeks shy of his 114th birthday. "It's a shame," said Gabriel Fittipaldi of the Omelette. "It just goes to show how quickly it can all be taken away. I mean, there was Fred, answering questions, slamming Irish car bombs one minute, and the next minute he's dead." Added White Wilt, "None of us saw this coming. I mean, he was only 113. At least he went out on top."
