Lest we forget: Mike Flanagan

August 25, 2011

It’s still too early to get all the details, but the former Orioles pitcher is dead of an apparent suicide.

Flanagan pitched for 18 seasons, all but two spent with Baltimore. He compiled a record of 167-143 and won the Cy Young Award in 1979 with a career-best 23 wins.

Following his retirement as a player, he became a television announcer and top executive with the club.
