NEW YORK — Katy Feeney, a baseball executive for four decades with roots in San Francisco, has died. She was 68.
The daughter of late Giants general manager and National League president Chub Feeney died Saturday while visiting relatives in Maine. She had not shown any sign of illness, baseball officials said. She had retired from baseball in December after working her final postseason.
Feeney was hired by the NL in 1977 and rose to Major League Baseball’s senior vice president of club relations and scheduling. She was among the most prominent women in baseball and the sport’s go-to expert on the complicated rules governing the schedule.
