Wasn't sure where to put this, but Mark Fidrych died today:

I had a chance to see him pitch at Tiger Stadium, and while he didn't do very good the night we were there, he sure created a buzz around Detroit and the state.

I have great memories of "the bird". Everyone on my baseball team at the time was trying to imitate him by talking to the ball. lol... Very sad he had to go the way he did.
