Baseball player Michael Darren Young was born on March 20, 1960, and died somewhere around May 29, 2023. From 1982 to 1989, he competed in Major League Baseball for all or a portion of eight seasons, primarily as an outfielder and designated hitter. He spent the majority of his major league career with the Baltimore Orioles, although he also played for the Cleveland Indians, Milwaukee Brewers, and Philadelphia Phillies. He played for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp in Japan in 1990.
Young had his best season for the Orioles in 1985, hitting.273 with 28 home runs and 81 runs batted in. Young blasted two extra-inning home runs in a single game on May 28, 1987, making him only the fifth player in big league history to do so.
