Former Baltimore Orioles ace Mike Mussina was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame Jan. 22, the culmination of a campaign that slowly picked up steam during his six years on the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot.
Mussina was with the Orioles for the first 10 seasons of his 18-year career before joining the New York Yankees. His biggest fan throughout his career may have been his brother, Mark, who followed his brother's career obsessively, planning his summer around each start. He compared it to Baltimore Ravens fans dictating weekend plans based on when the team plays.
"You schedule your world around it," Mark Mussina said on Glenn Clark Radio Jan. 24. "That's what my world was like, except instead of 16 games there were 30 starts."
