The Baltimore sports community lost a valuable member and local favorite when superfan Mo Gaba passed away on Tuesday after a long battle with cancer. He was 14.

Gaba had been connected to the Baltimore sports scene for years. In 2015, he began calling into Baltimore radio station 105.7 to share his sports opinions and quickly became a fan favorite. In 2017, he threw out the first pitch for the Orioles as part of Kids' Opening Day. During the 2019 NFL Draft, he announced Baltimore's fourth-round selection of Ben Powers.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Orioles announced Gaba would be inducted to the team's Hall of Fame.

Following the news, several current and former members of both the Orioles and Ravens took to Twitter to send their condolences to Gaba's family.
