Fidrych was awesome...thought there would be a huge thread about him...I know NFL films and 70s era porn are great...but so was the Bird!!!

I was a small boy when Mark Fidrych was a dominating righty for the Detroit Tigers in 1976, and if memory serves, he went 19-9 in his rookie season. He only won 29 games in a career shortened by knee & shoulder problems, but he was quite a character when he played...

You're memory served you extremely well, SHARK.

I NEVER would have been able to tell you the Fidrych's rookie record or his total career wins without looking it up first.
