I remember him. That era of Tigers had some pretty good players… Al Kaline, Norm Cash, Willie Horton, Aurelio Rodriguez (ex-Angel), Mickey Lolich… That team stood out to me as a kid and is a part of my childhood memories.
My wife and I chatted with him a bit at one of the Angels press conferences... he was very friendly and kind.
Does anyone know the cause of death?
Very sad.
The Angels have signed reliever Jimmy Herget to a minor league contract, according to J.P. Hoornstra of the Orange County Register. The righty is listed on the active roster with Triple-A Salt Lake.
