Mark Fidrych dead at the young age of 54.   He was an amazing pitcher and good ambassador for the game.

Two legendary Baseball Personalities lost in as many days.  :cry

These things always seem to go in threes, so who's next? (Knows who he's afraid for, but fears jinxing him)

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Ah, I forgot about Adenhart. Never heard of him until he got killed, so he slipped my mind (sorry to say).

We lost longtime Tigers TV Announcer (with Al Kaline) George Kell three weeks ago.   There's a 4th.
