Mike Shannon, who won two World Series titles as a player with the St. Louis Cardinals before serving as the team's radio voice for 50 years, has died. He was 83.
The Cardinals did not share the cause of Shannon's death, though he had "long-haul" COVID-19 since 2020, reports Rick Hummel, Derrick Goold and Dan Caesar of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"Mike's unique connection to Cardinals fans and his teammates was reflected in his unbridled passion for the game, the Cardinals and the St. Louis community," Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt Jr.
