Former All-Star pitcher and 1959 World Series champion Stan Williams died Saturday morning at the age of 84.
Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reported the news, noting Williams died in his Nevada home. He was hospitalized on Feb. 11 because of a cardio-pulmonary illness.
The right-hander pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Cleveland, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox during a career that lasted from 1958 through 1972. He was a two-time All-Star and helped lead the Dodgers to that 1959 title as both a starting pitcher and reliever.
