BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore sports superfan Mo Gaba has passed away at the age of 14 after a battle with cancer, WJZ has learned.

Mo began calling in to 105.7 The Fan’s sports programming in 2015 at the age of nine to share his knowledge of Baltimore sports with local fans and radio listeners.

He was an Orioles and Ravens superfan and quickly captured the hearts of Baltimore City.

The Orioles announced Tuesday that Mo had been elected to the Orioles Hall of Fame as the second-ever recipient of The Wild Bill Hagy Award.

Last spring, Mo became the first person to announce an NFL Draft pick while reading it in braille, and was recently named an honorary Baltimore Police Lieutenant.

Tributes poured in for Mo shortly after his passing.
