I wanna attend O's game paying respects to him. But theyre Sold out Yanks are here. Just like Twins fans paid respects to Harmon Killerbrew.

Very sad to hear. RIP
I love the Ravens of course, but man those were the days with guys like Flanny taking the mound for the O's. I feel awful for his family, too damn young.
Maybe I've been away from the everyday news too long and missed the coverage but was he dealing with depression or anything diagnosed?
I woke up and read this, this morning and was shocked!!!! Pretty unbelieveable.

Just devastating. I have such great memories of him as a kid.
I am NOT blaming Angelos direclty for what happened, but this has to be a wakeup call. If this isn't the bottom for a once-proud franchise, I don't know what is.
Tim Kirkjian wrote an article on espn.com where he said that Flanagan hadn't been himself since getting removed from his front office job. He said he saw him a week or so ago and he didn't look good. Horrible, just horrible.....:(
A very sad day in Baltimore, indeed.
Oddly enough, yesterday was ALSO Cal Jr's Birthday....
When I heard late last night that Flanny had died at 59, that was stunning enough and terrible news, but to hear this morning that it could be suicide is hard to accept. He was not just a terrific pitcher and broadcaster and a genuinely funny guy, he loved the Orioles as much as any fan . . . just awful news.
Great O's player, Great guy, Great Educator, Great Teammate, a hero to many. He will be missed. I am very sad. In a selfish way I hope foul play was involved and he did not take his life. Mental health continues to haunt too many people!!
