NEW YORK -- Ken MacKenzie, a left-handed reliever who was the only pitcher with a winning record on the expansion 1962 New York Mets, died Thursday. He was 89.
MacKenzie died at his home in Guilford, Connecticut, Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said.
MacKenzie was 8-10 with a 4.80 ERA in 128 relief appearances over six seasons with the Milwaukee Braves (1960-61), the Mets (1962-63), St. Louis (1963), San Francisco (1964) and Houston (1965). After his playing career, MacKenzie coached Yale's baseball team from 1969-78.
Born in Gore Bay, Ontario, MacKenzie was a graduate of Yale, where he captained the baseball team and was second-team All-Ivy League in hockey.
