Longtime MLB executive Roland Hemond, who served as general manager for both the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles, died Monday at 92.
Known for a positive and gregarious nature, Hemond also served as senior executive vice president for the Arizona Diamondbacks and was in a scouting director role for both the Milwaukee Braves and then California Angels.
Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011 as the recipient of the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award, Hemond was also instrumental in the development of the Arizona Fall League, which gives top prospects the chance to further showcase their talents at the end of the traditional minor league season.
