#17Never heard of the guy. But seriously anyone who takes their own life deserves the jokes that come their way. And in the OP's defense the article basicly said perception he caused the Orioles failure made him commit suicide. RIPComment -

#19police did not immediately identify the cause of death, but sources confirmed that Flanagan took his own life "despondent over what he considered a false perception from a community he loved of his role in the team's prolonged failure," Sandusky said.Comment -

#34Flanagan was a Legend in Baltimore, one of our most beloved players, Won a World Series, Won a Cy Young.
He was involved in everything Baltimore, and had been around professional baseball for 40 years, He was most recently one our broadcasters and he had wonderful stories and anecdotes about his time around the majors.
Growing up in Baltimore this was a guy we always respected and loved as apart of our community. The kind of player your father told you stories about since you were a child. I met the man a few times and he was always full of life, it's a shame he was suppressing so much while seeming so happy. RIP FlannyComment -

humor in all of baseball. Rip FlannyComment
