Roland Hemond, whose 70-year career in baseball included three Executive of the Year awards as general manager of the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles, died Sunday night. He was 92.
The Arizona Diamondbacks, with whom he spent 19 seasons, announced Hemond's death Monday.
"He passed peacefully in his son Jay's arms," Hemond's family said in a statement released by the Diamondbacks. "The Hemond family shared many laughs with him until the end, and we appreciate the love and support of all his baseball family."
Hemond was Chicago's GM from 1970 to '85 and served in the same role for Baltimore from 1988 to '95.
