Sadness in the Orioles' family, again....twice....

After losing Pat Dobson to leukemia in November, the Oriole family loses two more members in the span of just a few days.....

Steve Barber: The first 20-game winner in the modern Oriole era, and played for the 1966 World Series Champs, died at 67.

Hank Bauer: Best known as a key member of the 1950's Yankee dynasty, I can forgive him for the pinstripes because he managed the Orioles to their first World Series title in 1966.

They join Pat Kelly, Dave McNally, Chuck Thompson, Curt Blefary, Mark Belanger, Nellie Briles, Moe Drabowsky, and Elrod Hendricks in Oriole history.

And to Steve, and to Hank, a big thanks!
