Obituary (Click for full Obituary)
Frank Lynch, commissioner of the Susquehanna League, passed away Thursday night (February 28th) from complications of open heart surgery. He was 68 and survived by his wife and children. Viewings will take place on Sunday (March 2nd) in Bel Air, at Schimuneck's Funeral Home (next to Upper Chesapeake Hospital on Rt. 24) from 2-4 and again at 7-9pm.
Frank saw his first professional baseball game as a seven-year-old in 1946, and what a game it was. The home-town club, the Baltimore Orioles, was hosting the Montreal Royals and the team's exciting rookie, Jackie Robinson.
The fact that Robinson was breaking baseball's color barrier had little impact on the youngster. Although he was fascinated with Robinson's aggressive style and blazing speed, Frank was more interested in the players wearing the Oriole uniforms. He quickly matched uniform numbers and names-- those of Eddie Robinson, Al Cihocki, Howie Moss and Johnny Podgajny. He was hooked.
Throughout his youth and into adulthood, he was first and formost a baseball man. For 30 years, he worked as a sports writer and copy editor at both of Baltimore's major newspapers -- the News American and the Baltimore Sun. After retiring in 2001, Frank decided to chronicle the final ten years of Baltimore's membership in the International League with his 2007 book release: 'Orioles Rise from the Ashes'. The book is a fact-filled account of events both on and off the field that eventually led to Baltimore's journey to the majors.
Also in retirement, Frank became a mainstay at Thomas Run Park. It was not unusual to see Frank taking in Susquehanna League games, the league he commissioned the last two years.
He will most certainly be missed.
