Athletes - Mike Flanagan


Michael Kendall (Mike) Flanagan (born December 16, 1951 in Manchester, New Hampshire) is former left handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. He is currently the general manager of the Baltimore Orioles.

Flanagan was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 7th round of the 1973 draft. He made his major league debut with the Orioles on September 27, 1975. He was one the team's most dependable pitchers for the next nine years, going to the All-Star Game in 1978 and winning the Cy Young Award in 1979. That season was his best in baseball: he had a record of 23-9 (leading the league in wins) and an ERA of 3.08.

On August 31, 1987, Flanagan was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for pitchers Oswaldo Peraza
and José Mesa
. He had two solid seasons for the Blue Jays as a starter before being converted to a reliever in the 1990 season. He returned as a free agent to Baltimore for the 1991 season, and was very effective that season in a relief role. After a forgettable 1992 season, Flanagan retired from baseball.

In an 18-season career, Flanagan posted a 167-143 record with 1491 strikeouts and a 3.90 ERA in 2770.0 innings pitched.
