Today is a tough day for Baltimore Orioles fans who remember the late Mike Flanagan. It was four years ago today, on August 24, 2011, that we got the news of Flanagan’s untimely death on his property in a wooded area in Baltimore County, MD. That day I vowed that so long as I was covering the Orioles in any capacity, I’d always remember Flanagan on this day.
If you go back to last season I’m sure that this column will be similar to what I wrote at that time. But that’s okay.
