Former Yankees infielder Gil McDougald died of prostate cancer on Sunday at his home in Wall Township, N.J. He was 82.
McDougald played his entire 10-year career with the Yankees from 1951-60 and was a member of eight pennant-winning teams (1951-53, '55-58 and '60) and five championship clubs (1951-53, '56 and '58). He was also the first Yankee to win the Rookie of the Year Award when he was honored in '51 after hitting .306 with 72 runs scored, 14 home runs, 63 RBIs and a .396 on-base percentage.
In 1,336 career games, McDougald was a .276 hitter with 112 home runs and 576 RBIs, while playing 599 games as a second baseman, 508 at third and 284 at shortstop.
So Long, Gil.
