Former Cy Young winner Mike Flanagan, who won 167 games over 18 seasons with Baltimore and the Toronto Blue Jays, has died. He was 59.
http://www.canada.com/sports/Former+...570/story.html Flanagan won the American League Cy Young Award in 1979 when he went 23-9 with a 3.08 ERA in his fifth major league season. An all-star in 1978, Flanagan started his major league career in 1975 with the Orioles and stayed with them until 1987 when he was traded to Toronto. He was signed back as a free agent with the O's prior to the 1991 season and retired in 1992 with an alltime mark of 167-143 with a 3.90 ERA in 526 games (404 starts).
Man what an awful thing, he must have been in an extremely dark place. Remember him well as an Oriole and of course a Blue Jay, especially that epic game against the Tigers where he pitched 11 innings. RIP.
