Dealt back to the Angels

[Brownie]

Jim Fregosi is dead.

How can we remember him?

- Hawk Harrelson's choice to replace The Genius, finishing last his two full seasons in Chicago.
- The guy who managed a clubhouse that included John Kruk, Darren Daulton, Mitch Williams and Lenny Dykstra.
- An All-Star shortstop with the California Angels.
- The centerpiece of the trade that sent Nolan Ryan to California.

Take your pick. But he's dead, the second all-star shortstop turned White Sox manager to see it all end in Miami.

Oddly, both managers in the 1979 ALCS died while on, or immediately after having been on, a cruise.

The sea seems to take more former managers than it does Herman Melville characters these days.

David Foster Wallace warned of this nearly 20 years ago.
