Baltimore County Police said that former Orioles pitcher Mike Flanagan died on Wednesday from a self-inflicted gun shot, Chick Hernandez of CSN Washington reports.
Flanagan, 59, was found dead outside his home in Monkton, Md.
“I am so sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. He was a good friend and teammate,” Flanagan’s former teammate Cal Ripken Jr. said.
