Staley Dies at 87

Former big-league right-hander Gerry Staley has died at the age of 87. Staley’s career spanned from 1947 to 1961, during which he won 134 games. He reached double digits in victories for five straight seasons, from 1949 to 1953, before later moving to the bullpen. As a reliever, he made four appearances for the White Sox in the ‘59 World Series against the Dodgers, earning a save in Game 1.

My thoughts go out to Staley’s family and friends.
