Former Cubs and Braves outfielder Dwight Smith died at age 58, the Braves announced Friday.
Smith was a key player on the Cubs’ 1989 National League Eastern Division champions, managed by the late Don Zimmer. Smith finished second in Rookie of the Year voting that season behind Cubs center fielder Jerome Walton.
Smith played for the Cubs through 1993. He was with the Angels and Orioles in 1994, then played for the Braves in 1995 and ’96. He played in the 1995 World Series, getting a pinch-hit single in Game 2. The Braves beat the Indians in six games.
