Mike Flanagan Found Dead

jetsmets150 · Aug 24, 2011

Some of you may remember him. 1979 Cy Young winner for the O's. Won over a 150 games. Found dead near his home north of Baltimore.

EDIT: Reports out of Baltimore are that it was suicide over a false conception of his public image

My mother saw him play on Cape Cod a lot for Falmouth, she is pretty bummed at his passing.

R.I.P. Mike Flanagan

Multiple sources have reported and WBAL has confirmed that former Oriole pitcher and GM Mike Flanagan was found dead this afternoon at his home. Cause of death has yet to be determined. R.I.P. to a Cy Young Award Winner, Oriole Hall of Famer and World Series Champion.

Sad to hear another name from my youth passing away. Rest in peace, Mike.

As an Orioles fan, I can say this post makes you look like a total a-hole with little understanding of Flanagan or Orioles history...it is a proud one.

That's a real shame. What was his public image in Baltimore? I would have figured he'd be seen as a hero, where Angelos would be vilified for turning the team into a joke. I hope he wasn't thinking people blamed him for the horrid state of the franchise.

Flanagan is loved in and all around Baltimore. Right behind Cal and Brooks for some people as favorite Orioles

O's postgame show was awful. Jim Palmer, Jim Hunter, and Rick Dempsey all broke down.

Schmidtfan, your statement has put you in the lowest class of all - don't you have any respect for anyone, especially the dead?

Shame on you.

It was very touching...they did a great job.

Flanny had a failed tenure in the front office as the GM and in other positions. Ironic that Flanny who claimed Guthrie off of waivers and gave him his #46 was tonight's winning pitcher.
