Print Edition
Former National League MVP and Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Don Newcombe, one of the Dodgers franchise’s final links to Brooklyn, passed away on Tuesday after a lengthy illness. He was 92. Los Angeles team president Stan Kasten called Newcombe “a role model for major leaguers across the country.” “He was a constant presence at Dodger Stadium and players always gravitated to him for his advice and leadership,” Kasten’s statement said. “The Dodgers meant everything to him and we are all fortunate he was a part of our lives.” Newcombe, a right-hander, pitched for 10 seasons in the majors, earning NL Rookie of the Year honors in 1949 and All-Star selections in 1949, 1950, 1951 and 1955. The three-time 20-game winner won a World Series championship with Brooklyn in 1955.
