Some tough news to digest today, as Sedat Acton — AKA “The Handstand Man — died on Saturday. He was 77-years-old.

Acton’s wife, Teresa, passed away last month.

As news of Acton’s passing spread Sunday morning/afternoon, tributes from past players and admirers alike began to pour in.

I talked to Sedat a small handful of times over the years, but he was always incredibly pleasant and always so passionate about the Cards.
