That certainly didn't take to long. When I check back at the end of the Major League draft, Fidrych has already been called up to the Dodger's Single-A affiliate in the California League, the Bakersfield Dodgers. It would appear they have a lot of faith in him.
On January 23rd, Eddie Matthews, Robin Roberts, Whitey Ford, and Mickey Mantle are voted into the Hall of Fame.
The Bird stays in Bakersfield throughout the offseason. As of Major League opening day on April 4, he is the No. 1 starter on the roster.
Here is his picture and ratings as of MLB Opening Day:
His first start will come on April 9th against the Visalia Mets.
