Don Baylor, who played in 2,292 major-league games and wore 14 different uniforms as a player, coach and manager, died Monday at age 68. Baylor was the first manager in Rockies history, guiding the team from 1993-98.
A look back at an extraordinary baseball life:
- Born June 28, 1949, in Austin, Texas, Baylor was a second-round pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 1967 out of S.F. Austin High School. He chose baseball over a chance to be the first black football player at Texas.
