semiotter Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I was sad to here this morning of Mikes passing. He was only 59 and didn't here what happened to him. All they said was he was found at his home yesterday. Mike pitched back when the O's were good. He won the Cy Young in '79 and pitched on World series team. He was also the last pitcher to pitch at old memorial park were the O's played so many years. He stayed with the club in different areas after his playing days were over. And was the TV color guy for the O's game. He will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd been killed in Irene, OK; but how do you earn a patch, obviously an honor, for putting a bullet through your head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
