Harding "Pete" Peterson, former Pirates catcher, minor league manager, farm system director, and general manager. He was 89 years old. RIP.
As a player, Peterson played in the last games ever at both the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field in September of 1957.
As Pirates GM in the late 70's, he was the architect of the 1979 World Series championship team.
After getting fired by the Pirates as GM in 1985, Peterson joined the New York Yankees, where he worked in their front office and served one season as GM in 1990. He has the distinction of being the last person ever fired by George Steinbrenner.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Frank Lucchesi, former manager of the Phillies, Rangers and Cubs in the 1970s and (briefly) 1987, but was perhaps best known for getting punched in the face by his 3B Lenny Randle during a 1977 spring training game, died at the age of 92. RIP.

worth mentioning that Green integrated the last MLB team - in 1959, 12 YEARS after Jackie Robinson.
they are as stuck in history with that as the Yankees are with Elston Howard (1955), Phillies with John Kennedy (1957), and Tigers with Ozzie Virgil Sr. (1958). and 6 of the 12 other franchises waited until 1953-54.
geesh, Jackie wrapped up his meteoric 10-year HOF career in 1956.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Don Mossi, a solid starting pitcher primarily for the Tigers and Indians throughout the 1950s and 1960s, but who perhaps was best known for his large, protruding nose and ears (and as such garnered the nicknames "Sphinx" and "Ears"), died at age 90. RIP.
Don Mossi, who pitched for the Tigers from 1959-63 and was better remembered as “The Sphinx” or “Ears,” died at the age of 90 Friday in Nampa, Idaho.
