Mark "THE BIRD" Fidrych RIP.......

Growing up in Detroit he was a sensation.......Met him a dozen times at AC LINDEL where we used to go for burgers before Tiger games........He was a great man I was only 7 but he would talk to me as long as I had questions..............EVERYTIME.

My wife just informed me that he died. I'm in my 60's use to take my son down to some games especially when the Bird pitched. Seemed like he allways came back for big events. Hope he went fast! Sad day!

I always liked Fidrych. I seen him pitch alot. Funny to watch. Talking to that ball and everything. He was good for bases. Rip Mark.
