Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear about Mike. A great athlete, he was a Virginia gentleman, always polite, humble and inclusive. I miss seeing him walking his dog in Glenmore and stopping to chat with him. Wishing Jan and the family all the best in this difficult time.

I so sorry for you lost I lost bob in 2023 Always remember Mike and you Miss you Charlotte Harmon alway in my prayers

Mike taught me how to play second base. Every year before he left for spring training he´d work with me and probably kept me from breaking my legs. Played golf with him in Lynchburg when he managed. Loved the guy and his parents.

Perhaps the best all-around athlete (football, basketball, and, of course, baseball) to ever grow up in Charlottesville, Mike was also a genuine and generous friend who added positively to the lives of many. Sending heartfelt condolences to Jan and all of Mike's family members during this difficult time.

Mike was such a genuine, remarkably kind gentleman. We shared similar memories of the frequently mediocre expansion version of the Washington Senators. We were both 1968 high school graduates from different Virginia counties, but Cubby's baseball skills were well known throughout the state. When he joined the Nats' scouting staff, he became a great source, and we broke bread together many times in the media lounge at Nats Park. This is a huge loss for all of us who got to be his friend.

Single Memorial Tree

What a great guy, and a real baseball man, through and through. Cubby was an important member of our coaching staff in Houston. We won our division four times in five years. Cubby landed a job with the Red Sox as Grady Little´s right hand man. They won divisions too. A littler known fact: Cubby was one of the best fungo hitters ever. He was a left handed batter, but could work an infielder from either side of the cage and plate. You won´t find many coaches who can switch hit with a fungo.

Brother Stephen and the rest of the family well appreciate the talents and humility of this good man, number 10; he continues to inspire. Love, the McLean Family

What an amazing person, RIP Mike.
