Mark Steven Fidrych was born on this day in 1954.   He died in a farm accident in 2009.
In 1976,  Fidrych became the most popular player in baseball.    He had a great season and even started the All Star game:   19-9, 24 complete games and a 2.34 ERA.    

He went 10-6 for the next 4 seasons and battled one injury after another.    By 1981, he was out of the game!
He was baseball’s “one hit wonder” but touched the thousands of fans who turned out to see him in Detroit and every other park in the AL.

A word about Earl Weaver (1930-2013)

We remember Earl Weaver who was born on this day in 1930 and died in 2013.  We understand that Earl and his wife were in a cruise and he died suddenly.

Earl Weaver was the legendary manager of the Baltimore Orioles from 1968 to 1982.  He came back for one season in 1986 and retired again.

During his tenure, the O's played in 4 World Series and won the AL East 6 times.  He managed Hall of Famers like Brooks & Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray and he was the one who moved Cal Ripken from third to shortstop in his rookie season of 1982.  He had four 20-game winners in the 1971 Orioles. 

Earl was well known for his fights with umpires and Jim Palmer.    He was one of the greatest managers in baseball history.
