I was a pitcher and played in the Baltimore Oriole organization in the early 1970s. Cal Ripken, Sr. was my manager at AA Asheville, N.C. and he told us stories about Steve Dalkowski being the fastest pitcher he had ever seen. Cal Ripken, Sr. caught Steve Dalkowski when they were both in the minors with Baltimore. To the fastest ever, Rest In Peace.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of Steve Dalkowski. His contributions to baseball will be cherished forever. May our loving heavenly Father comfort you and sustain you as you begin to rebuild your lives without him.

My sincere condolences to the Dalkowski family. May the God of all comfort provide you all the strength to cope with your loss
