Hope that 2021 would bring about better times has been washed away for the Los Angeles Dodgers, as the organization is now mourning the death of Don Sutton. The Hall of Fame pitcher passed away Monday night at his home after battling cancer.
Sutton was 75 years old and is survived by his wife, Mary, son Daron, and daughters Staci and Jacquie.
“Today we lost a great ballplayer, a great broadcaster and, most importantly a great person,” Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said in a statement. “Don left an indelible mark on the Dodger franchise during his 16 seasons in Los Angeles and many of his records continue to stand to this day.
