    News today said it was an apparent accident and it was under a dump truck? Does anyone know if something like the transmission fall on the guy??

    Mark Fidrych was one of the iconic sports individuals for me. I was 16 years in 1977 and a Tiger fan. Hemade the game alive, fun, attainable - definately a great baseball ambassador even though he considered it a priveledge to play.

    In another forum I expressed that even though I never
    personally met Mark, he seemed like a REAL down-to-earth type of guy.

    Very likable and I believe he brought to a down-and-out Tigers team in
    the late 1970's a spirit that will live on forever.

    RIP Mark

    Growing up in Detroit I had the pleasure to see him beat the Yanks at Tiger Stadium.It was probably his greatest game of all time.

    Thanks For The Memories.

    Terribly sad news...the entire reason I am still collecting the 77 set because from the age of 10 I desperately hoped to find the bird rookie with each and every pack I opened. The single greatest story I have seen in baseball over my lifetime.
    Thank you Mark RIP
