Former Cubs executive Dallas Green passes away
The Chicago sports world lost another central figure in its history Wednesday.
The day after Jerry Krause died, former Cubs executive Dallas Green passed away at the age of 82.
Green was the Cubs' general manager from 1981-1987. He was considered the architect of the 1984 Cubs, where the team went 96-65 and finished first in the division.
One of his most notable moves was acquiring Ryne Sandberg, who was a minor leaguer at the time, in 1982. Two years later, Green was named Executive of the Year while Sandberg was named NL Most Valuable Player.
