RIP: Jose Pagan

[sox83cubs84]

Jose Pagan, a 15-year MLB infielder who played for the Giants, Pirates and Phillies from 1959-73, died June 7 of unannounced causes.

Pagan made two trips to the World Series during his career: a six-game loss for the Giants to the Yankees in 1962, and a seven-game win for the Pirates over the Orioles in 1971. He was an on-field hero in Game 7 of that Fall Classic, driving in a late-inning run that gave Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead in a game they ended up winning 2-1.

This Oct. 17, 1971, file photo shows Pittsburgh Pirates' Jose Pagan (11) hitting a double, off Baltimore Orioles pitcher Mike Cuellar, to drive in the eventual winning run in Game 7 of the World Series, in Baltimore. The catcher is Ellie Hendricks and the umpire is Nestor Chylak. The Pirates announced that Pagan died after learning of it from Pagan's family. No cause was given for his death Tuesday, June 7, 2011.
