Mike Cuellar: 1937– 2010

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


We remember that Oriole great Mike Cuellar died in Florida 8 years ago this week.     He had been ill for a few months.
Mike was the greatest Cuban lefthander.    He was born in 1937 and played for the Havana Sugar Kings before making his debut with Cincinnati in 1959.
All together, he won 185 games, shared the 1969 Cy Young with Denny McClain and pitched a complete game in game 5 to win the 1970 series.
Cuellar was a 20-game winner in 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1974. He represented the AL in 4 All Star games.    He finished in the Top 10 of the AL MVP vote in 1969 & 1974.
My favorite Cuellar memory was the 1974 season.  The O’s won 28 of the last 34 and Cuellar was in the middle of it all. At one point, he pitched back to back complete games on 2-days rest.  It was awesome!
Beyond the numbers, he was a family friend and very nice man.
