Anybody remember Mark "The Bird" Fidrych?

i was too young to personally remember him but i had heard alot about him how he came out of nowhere won the rookie of the year and pitched in the all-star game in 1976 even beat the al champion yankees during that season, but after that he had alot of injuries and only won 10 more games during his 5 year major league career. i think he is more known for his enthusiasm and eccentric behavior while he pitched some say he used to talk to the baseball. he was definitely one of baseball's colorful characters and will be missed.
