Steve Dalkowski, a legendary minor league flamethrower in the Orioles system in the late 1950s/early 1960s, died on 4/26 at age 80 due to COVID19.

Dalkowski threw some of the strongest heat in pro baseball history, but also was very terrible at control and command of his pitches. His career inspired the producers of Bull Durham to insert one of the main characters of the movie, Nuke Laloosh.
