Turning Point for Sweet Valley Death?
Seeking to break out of a three-month slump, Sweet Valley Death may be close to a dramatic turning point as its 2nd round draft pick Jerry Lewis, 80, has suffered a heart attack. Though described as "mild" and expected to make a complete recovery, one cannot discount the effect of heart attacks. Fortuitously, Lewis is also suffering from a bout of pneumonia. The news of Lewis's condition rankled one source close to Ewing Oil."Not good. That's 20 points for Sweet Valley to potentially get back in the game. Psychologically it would be a tremendous boost for them to have a 2nd-rounder die. That would bring up the level of play of everyone else on the roster. If Lewis dies, you'll get your Joey Bishops, your Bob Barkers and your Walter Mondales all asking, 'okay, if a legend and top-five pick like Jerry Lewis can die, what more can I do to reach his level?' And the answer, unfortunately, is die," the source said.
