Former New York Yankees pitcher Jim Bouton has died at 80 after a battle with dementia, the New York Daily News reported on Wednesday.
Bouton pitched 10 years in the major leagues, including seven with the Yankees where he made one All-Star team and was a member of the 1962 World Series champions. Bouton went 21–7 with a 2.53 ERA in 1963, a performance that earned him a trip to the All-Star Game. He later pitched for the Seattle Pilots and Houston Astros before retiring in 1970 with a career 62–63 record and a 3.57 ERA.
