RIP.  Sad he died so young.  He was the first side armer I remember seeing as a kid for us.

Sad. RIP Todd. I didn't know he coached basketball after his baseball career ended.

That's a shame. Same age as me. I remember Frohwirth was money when we had him. RIP

For some reason I didn't think he was that old.

Stomach cancer.  Ugh, nasty.

Condolences to the family.

[Frobby]

Very sad.    My prayers are with his family.  

[HbgOsFan]

Very sad news.  Had a lot of respect for Todd in the way he handled himself in the infamous 1993 Mussina-Haselman brawl.  Thoughts and prayers with his family - way too young.

Dan Connolly notes that Frohwirth is the 4th member of the 1991 O's bullpen to have passed away, along with Flannie, Kevin Hickey, and Francisco De La Rosa.

I honestly don't remember De La Rosa.

I honestly don't remember De La Rosa.

Four innings in a couple of September games. Easy to forget.

This is terrible, and the older I get 54 years old doesn't seem so young anymore.  I loved watching his sidearm delivery back in the day. 

[InsideCoroner]

That's really sad to hear. I've always had an affinity for the sidearm guys like Frohwirth and Mark Eichhorn.

[Moose Milligan]

Very sad.  He was one of my favorites back in the early 90s.  That sidearm action was so cool, he was so much fun to watch.  And he was great.  RIP. 

I remember when he got ejected from a game once and he threw his hat, glove, and some other stuff...all sidearm.  

What happened to Kevin Hickey?

What happened to Kevin Hickey?

Died as a result of diabetic coma.   Not a lot of details, but here's an article:
