There is a sad story in the recent Orlando Sentinel about the deteriorating health of former Baltimore Orioles ace Mike Cuellar.
The story by Sentinel columnist, George Diaz, illustrates recent health issues for Cuellar that now have him in a hospital in the Orlando area living out his final days in pain.
A number of local businessmen and organizations are trying to assist Cuellar and his family with his expenses, including paying for his funeral.
Cuellar won 185 games during his 15 major league seasons, including 143 games with the Orioles. He shared the 1969 Cy Young Award with Detroit Tigers' Denny McClain and won 20 or more games in a season four times.
