Rocky Colavito, a nine-time MLB All-Star and Cleveland baseball legend, died at 91 on Tuesday, per MLB.com's Chris Haft.
The Guardians said in a statement that Colavito "passed peacefully at home today with family by his side in Bernville, Pennsylvania."
"Our collective hearts ache at the passing of Rocky," said Guardians senior vice president/public affairs Bob DiBiasio. "Rocky was a generational hero, one of the most popular players in franchise history. His popularity was evident across Northeast Ohio as sandlot ballplayers everywhere imitated Rocky's on-deck circle routine of kneeling, then as he stepped into the batter's box the stretching the bat over the shoulders and pointing the bat at the pitcher.
