(The Sports Xchange) Former major league slugger and manager Don Baylor died Monday of cancer. He was 68.
?Don passed from this earth with the same fierce dignity with which he played the game and lived his life,? his wife, Rebecca, said in a statement.
Baylor, who played 19 seasons in his major league career and was the 1979 American League MVP, died at a hospital in his native Austin, Texas, after a 14-year struggle with multiple myeloma.
Baylor played for the Baltimore Orioles, Oakland Athletics, California Angels, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins. He was an All-Star and the MVP winner with the Angels in 1979 when he led the majors in RBIs (139) and runs (120).
