RIP!
Mods, can you fix the title? Thanks.
Part of probably the greatest starting pitching staff ever.
RIP.
Part of the World Series champion 1970 Orioles pitch staff which included Palmer and McNally. Mike went 24 - 8 that year. 3.14 lifetime ERA. Heckuva pitcher. RIP.
yes RIP
my brother gave me a baseball signed by Mcnally, cuellar, palmer and dobson
1 game away from a really great year
saw Mike pitch when he was with the Astros...RIP,,, Mike...
Cuellar, Dobson, Palmer, McNally all winning 20 games...a feat that will never be repeated. RIP
I used to go see Cuellar pitch for the Orioles.
Darn, my generation is dying off fast.
Mike Cuellar 72? Where has the time gone?
Right at the beginning of the season. Bummer! Who’s gonna play?
I went to the 1971 World Series, Game 7 in Baltimore. If you were an O-fan, it sucked :-(
When I first moved to Florida in 1992, I went to the local Home Depot in Orlando to buy some lumber. The kid that helped me, his nametag said “Cuellar”. When I was checking out I said, “You know, when I was a kid there was a great pitcher in Baltimore whose name was Mike Cuellar.”
The kid looked at me beaming and said, “That’s my Dad!”
I remember that great pitching staff the Orioles had in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Of course Cuellar won game 1 of the 1969 ALCS and World Series before the Mets won the next four. Dave McNally died a few years ago. He was a good pitcher and I believe he was from Cuba.
What a staff the O’s had back in the day.
Damn. RIP, Mike. I’m sure someone is now going to tell me that they tore down Memorial Stadium.
Sad news for baseball as the new season dawns.
From a Cincinnati Reds fan, vaya con Dios, amigo.
Oh no! RIP, Mike.
The 1971 Orioles staff may have been the best in Major league baseball history. All four starters, Cuellar, Jim Palmer, Pat Dobson, and Jim McNally won 20 games or more and all had eras under 3.08.
