Bruce Kison, the former major league pitcher who played a role in beating the Orioles in two World Series and then was a coach and scout with the Orioles for nearly two decades, died Saturday morning after a battle with cancer. He was 68.
Kison, who retired from scouting after the winter meetings in December, had been a recognizable fixture with the Orioles for years, maintaining a similar tall, lanky and mustachioed look from his playing days.
The Orioles will hold a moment of silence to remember Kison before Saturday’s game against the New York Yankees at Camden Yards.
