Sad loss of a very interesting pitcher and person

[WSU Shocker]

I sat right behind home plate at Tiger Stadium when Monday Night Baseball was there, the Yankees were in town, and "The Bird" was pitching. He was a lot of fun to watch and the place went wild for him.

It's sad to see him go at such a young age. :cry:
