I remember watching him during his amazing rookie season. He seemed to be able to put the ball exactly where he wanted to. I don't think I've ever seen better command. Very sad day for baseball. Worried about the third "bad thing!"

The Angels rookie, the Phils announcer and the Bird...I think we're done.

One of the all-time great "characters" in MLB. Hard to believe it was 33 years since that magical season.

R.I.P. , Bird.

Rest in peace Mark. You were fun to watch and you left us far too soon.

R.I.P. Bird. He was quite a character and he had that one amazing year. Sad news indeed.
