The Bird is the Word (and Mike's new friend)

My brother, Mike, visits Boston from time-to-time for work. He met Mark "The Bird" Fidrych at a bar on one of his visits and struck up a conversation. Mike returned some time later and visited The Bird at his mother-in-law's diner (The Bird sometimes helps out in the kitchen). Mike took photos, got some autographs (my ball says "Mark Fidrych, R.O.Y. '76 'The Bird'"), and made fun of his Boston accent.

Good time, great taste.
