______

A one of kind unique pitcher who dominated baseball for one year back in 1976 with a 19-9 record and a stellar 24 complete games for the Detroit Tigers. Retired early and became a farmer due to arm troubles. Baseball fans will never forget this pitcher and the joy he brought to baseball that one year. God bless in heaven Mr.Fidrych, thanks for the memories….

He was a phenomenon for a year. The reaction to Caitlin Clark is similar. Too bad it didn't last for Mark. It was a lot of fun while it did.
