A former New York Yankees‘ player passed away on Wednesday. Damaso Garcia, who played for the Bombers in 1978 and 1979, died today in his native Dominican Republic. He was 63 years old.
Details of the cause of the death of Garcia aren’t available at the time. “It is a sad day for the Dominican baseball community,” Erick Almonte, the president of the Dominican national player federation, told ESPN.
Garcia had a successful career. Although his numbers don’t exactly pop up, he managed to go to the All-Star game in two separate occasions, which is plenty more than the average player can achieve.
