My vintage interview with him outpolled four Hall of Famers in the Bird Tapes Holiday Gift Contest final voting. Our conversation from 1999 is posted below, available to all subscribers.
It felt personal when Mike died. Having been treated for depression most of my adult life I only wish that he had found the right help. His final act meant he was unwilling to stand the pain any longer. He was loved by so many O's fans!
Thank you. Did he ever talk about 1979? I had his 1979 card in MLB Rivals (a free game on Steam) and just went ham on upgrading it XD
ONE ORIOLE I WANT is B.J. Ryan or Brian Roberts.
I met Brian in '06 and we got a picture taken together. He had 50 doubles. I wonder if that was his goal or it just happened to be a condience that he would get that high.
For B.J. Ryan. He wasn't terrible. Just on teams that...really didn't give him anything to go off of. I got his 2002 card in MLB Rivals. Not sure if that was his best year BUT I could be wrong. I also went ham on upgrading the card XD
Sorry for the long comment. I figured I put my request in if you do them. You already finished the book but we are always cats right? Thanks John
