Mark "The Bird" Fidrych Dead
The man who once had 24 complete games in 31 starts has been found dead according to reports by ESPN radio.
In 1976 "The Bird" as a rookie, went 19-9 posting a 2.34 ERA. Heralded as the new dominant pitcher of the era, his stardom was fleeting. Fidrych played only 4 more years appearing in only 27 games.
Condolences to Mark's family.
I'm sure the eBay vultures will be out in full force.
