Roland Hemond, a longtime MLB executive who served as general manager of the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles, has died at the age of 92.
A native of Central Falls, Rhode Island, Hemond started his career in baseball in 1951 with the minor league Hartford (Conn.) Chiefs.
After working for the Milwaukee Braves and Los Angeles Angels, Hemond was hired as the White Sox GM in 1973 and was named MLB's Executive of the Year twice. He left the White Sox in 1985, resurfacing three years later as GM of the Orioles — a position he held for seven years.
