HOUSTON -- With a strong Boston accent, high-pitched laugh and signature thick, horseshoe mustache, former Astros clubhouse manager Dennis Liborio left a unique stamp on the Astros organization. As the dozens of friends he made during his 32-year Astros tenure can attest to, he was a true original.
Liborio retired a little more than six years ago, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. On Monday, he died, at the age of 63.
"Dennis was beloved by so many people," Hall of Famer Craig Biggio said in an interview with MLB.com after he heard the news Monday night.
