When throwback fans mull
over sports legends the name
Bird, not Larry Bird is bound
to come up when talking
Detroit Tigers. Pitcher Mark
Fidrych is an all-time Detroit
favorite.
Remembered for his .604
winning percentage and
rookie
of the
year honors, Fidrych gained
further notoriety for his antics
on the pitching mound. "The
Bird" gained national attention
for his great pitching and
speaking to the baseball
between pitches. Not
your
average dude, Fidrych would
also get on his hands and
knees to manicure the
pitching
mound. Detroit fans
went wild and opposing
batters were always
guessing. The Motor City, no
doubt, remembers
Mark "The Bird" Fidrych.
