Ted Turner remembered fondly for hosting wet T-shirt college nights after Braves games, like a true hero

CNN founder and media mogul Ted Turner died Wednesday at 87. Well, scratch that. Those two labels don't quite do him justice.

Let me try again: Ted Turner — the founder of CNN, a media mogul, a business tycoon, a world-renowned sailor, the creator of the superstation, the former owner of the Atlanta Braves, and a fierce supporter of wet T-shirt contests — died Wednesday at 87.

Whew. How is THAT for a list of accomplishments to take with you to the pearly gates? Did Ted leave it all out on the field, or what?
