Boy as a Detroit area kid who was coming of age in the 1970's Mark Fidrych was a local folk hero. The free spirit Tigers pitcher sure shook things up for a year. Johnny always felt baseball got cheated by his shoulder injury cutting short his run. Apparently Fidrych was working on a truck on his farm in Massachusetts and it fell on him.
RIP Bird, we'll miss you
