Model Forum / General / Models / April 2009Another OT death
Maybe not so well known outside of the US as Marilyn Chambers was, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, former Detroit Tiger baseball pitcher, was found dead under his dump truck. Fidrych was known for talking to the ball when pitching and hand grooming the pitcher's mound, among other quirky behavior which made him a favorite among all baseball fans.

And one of the last remnants of the age when the amiable goofs still outnumbered the *ssh*les in baseball. >> Maybe not so well known outside of the US as Marilyn Chambers was, Mark >> "The Bird" Fidrych, former Detroit Tiger baseball pitcher, =EF=BF=BDwas f= [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >And one of the last remnants of the age when the amiable goofs still >outnumbered the *ssh*les in baseball. he was active in the 20's? > he was active in the 20's? '70s, I believe. I'm not a sports fan either but it amazes me how much I know about some of these things. I recall how people used to talk about his weird antics.
