NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Former Yankees and Mets manager Dallas Green has died.
WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman reported the news Wednesday. A Phillies official confirmed Green’s death to the New York Daily News.
The cause of Green’s death is unknown. He was 82.
Green spent parts of eight seasons as a major-league manager, including with the Phillies, whom he led to a World Series championship in 1980.
He was hired as the Mets manager in May 1993, taking over for the fired Jeff Torborg. Green managed the Mets until August 1996, going 229-283, but never reaching the postseason.
