Orioles tradition is rich with stories about Mike Flanagan. His teammates and those around him used the term “Orioles Family” when talking about the impact that he had on the team. Chris Jakubauskas, Zach Britton and Jake Arrieta understood the importance of the history of those great teams in their memories of Flanagan.
