Don Sutton, the Hall of Fame pitcher whose uniform number was the last one retired by the Dodgers, has died. He was 75.
Sutton’s death was announced by his son, Daron. On Twitter, Daron said that his father had “passed away in his sleep” on Monday night.
“He worked as hard as anyone I’ve ever known,” his son wrote, “and he treated those he encountered with great respect . . . and he took me to work a lot. For all these things, I am very grateful. Rest In Peace.”
The Dodgers have retired 10 uniform numbers, most recently Sutton’s No.
