Baseball lost a legend of the game on Tuesday who would’ve been a lot more at home in this current era of baseball than the one he inhabited.

1974 Cy Young-winning Dodgers reliever Mike Marshall, who came of age with the Expos and finished a remarkable 14-year career with the Twins before moving on to bigger and better things, passed away this week at the age of 78.
