Former pitcher Moe Drabowsky, a fun-loving prankster who became an Orioles World Series hero, died yesterday at the University of Arkansas Medical Center in Little Rock of complications from multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow.
Drabowsky, 70, had been living in Sarasota, Fla., and until a few weeks ago continued to work with the Orioles' young pitchers in Florida.
…
Drabowsky was born in Ozanna, Poland, and escaped the Nazis with his family coming to the United States when he was 3 years old.
…
In addition to his daughter, he is survived by his wife, Rita; mother, Frances; another daughter, Laura Anne Nevell; two stepsons, Bob and David DeJonge; a stepdaughter, Lisa Kelley; sister, Marion Freidhoff; former wife Elizabeth; a niece and step-grandchildren.
Rest In Peace, Moe. Thanks for the laughs.
