Thursday BP: Dick Tidrow dies

Hello and happy Thursday.

Wednesday was a sad day for baseball, and for the San Francisco Giants, as Dick Tidrow died at the age of 74.

Tidrow, who died unexpectedly, was many things.

He was a 13-year MLB pitcher who won two World Series championships.

He was the owner of a mustache that rivaled Burt Reynolds’.

He was a San Francisco native who attended high school and junior college in Hayward.

And, for the last 27 years, he was a member of the Giants organization. Tidrow joined the Giants in 1994 as a scout, and quickly became special assistant to the general manager, and then director of player personnel.
