Angel Mangual, former Oakland A’s outfielder and three-time World Series champion, died Tuesday morning at age 73, the team announced.
Mangual is not the most famous name in A’s history, but he played a huge role in the club’s first title in Oakland. In Game 4 of the 1972 World Series, he delivered a walk-off single in the 9th inning to send the green and gold to a comeback victory, in a series they ultimately won in seven games over the Cincinnati Reds.
