FORMER Baltimore Orioles pitcher Mike Flanagan, the 1979 Cy Young Award winner, was found dead on property near his home on Wednesday.
Flanagan, 59, won 167 games in 18 Major League seasons including an American League leading 23 games in 1979. He was a member of the Orioles team that won the 1983 World Series.
Baltimore County police declined to comment about the possible cause of death. "It's just shock right now," former teammate Rick Dempsey said.
"I know everybody that played with him loved him. He was the backbone of that pitching staff. This guy never quit. He was there for the duration. We had so many great games and so many great times. I just can't believe it."
Flanagan also served as the Orioles pitching coach and was in his second season as the color analyst on the Orioles television broadcasts.
