Jim Frey, who was a longtime coach with the Orioles for Earl Weaver, and later managed the Royals and Cubs, died on 4/12 at age 88.
As a manager, Frey took the Royals to their first-ever World Series berth in 1980, although KC was defeated by the Phillies. He was also connected to 2 NL East Cubs pennant winners; as a manager (1984) and as a GM (1989). Both times, however, the Cubs were defeated in the NLCS.
