Steve Bechler: 1979-2003
It was six years ago yesterday that pitcher Steven Scott Bechler died in Fort Lauderdale during the opening days of Orioles spring training. He was just 23. For those of you who might be younger readers and don't know the story of Steve Bechler, he died as a result of heat stroke brought on in...
Former Oriole Roberto Alomar has "full-blown AIDS" according to ex-girlfriend
