Jimmy Piersall, the colorful former White Sox broadcaster and major-league outfielder of 17 seasons, died Saturday at a care facility in Wheaton at the age of 87.
Piersall played from 1950 to 1967 with the Red Sox, Indians, Senators, Mets and Angels.
But he is well known in Chicago for teaming with Harry Caray on Sox broadcasts from 1977 until 1981, when the Sox fired him. He was also a roving outfield instructor with the Cubs.
