How about a ATOT Death Pool?

Heard about these pools awhile ago on the radio. Basically how it works is that you pick a list of names that you think have a good chance of dying next year. If they croak, then you get points based on their age at the time of their death. Take their age and subtract from 100, and you get the points. An 80 year old would only net you 20 points, a 20 year old would net you 80 points. You can only pick popular people, not your grandmother or something like that. How to decide on how to determine who is popular would have to be decided on. So what do y'all think, is this something doable?
 
Ok, I'll bite.

Tommy Lasorda, born in 1927. He's looking pretty haggard these days. I hope it doesn't happen, but it wouldn't surprise me. 🙁

What would you get other than points? Anything? Bragging rights? What if a bunch of people pick the same people?
