Hall of Fame broadcaster Jerry Coleman, a former second baseman for the New York Yankees who interrupted his pro career to fly as a Marine Corps pilot in World War II and Korea, died Sunday after a brief illness, the San Diego Padres said. He was 89.
Coleman spent more than four decades with the San Diego Padres as a broadcaster. He managed the team in 1980.
He was truly an interesting and heroic man. More about his life here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/05...46422.html
