RIP Mark "The Bird" Fidrych

Just saw that former pitcher, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, died in an apparent accident on his farm. RIP. This is a very sad day in baseball.

Its a sad day for baseball fans in Detroit. The Bird was a fan favorite, who brought an electric feel to Tiger stadium when he pitched and even after he retired fans loved him for so many good memories.

I loved watching 'the Bird' dust off the pitchers mound with his hand and the way he talked to the ball. I will miss his antics on the ball field but I do have those memories.

RIP Mark
