Hall of Fame manager Whitey Herzog, who managed the Royals from 1975 to 1979, has died at the age of 92.
Dorrel Norman Elvert Herzog grew up just east of St. Louis in Illinois, excelling at baseball enough to be signed by the Yankees as a teenager. After a stint in the Army and a trade to the Washington Senators, he made his MLB debut as an outfielder in 1956. He played for the Kansas City Athletics from 1958 to 1960, and had short stints with the Orioles and Tigers before his career ended in 1963.
