Four-time World Series-winning pitcher-turned-manager Roger Craig has died at the age of 93.
A spokesperson for the San Francisco Giants, whom he managed to a championship in 1989, was informed by a family member that, following a short illness, Craig died on Sunday (4 June) in San Diego. The Giants sent their heartfelt condolences to his wife, Carolyn; four children, Sherri Paschelke, Roger Craig Jr., Teresa Hanvey and Vikki Dancan; plus seven grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
As a player, Craig was a pivotal part of winning Brooklyn their one and only championship in 1955 before the Dodgers franchise relocated to Los Angeles. Four years later, in their second season in Southern California, Craig pitched in their second World Series win.
