sad to see him go. One of the great players from the 70s.

He was truly one of a kind. It's a shame that he washed up so quickly. Wouldn't it be great to have him included in the 70s game and to get his 1976 season? Or to have his '76 season replicated in the All Time Greats game?

He was a unique bird. Even after all these years, his antics on the mound are still etched in my memory. Godspeed.

That's three BIG losses in the past week. First, Nick Adenhart then Harry the K and now the Bird. I hope that's it. :(

Why is he not available for the 70's Game?

Baseball needs more characters like the Bird. Baseball has truly become a business. He is already missed. :cry:
