Ahoy, mateys! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout the late, great Jeff Torborg, a swashbucklin’ catcher and a World Series champion, who set sail for the great diamond in the sky at the ripe age of 83! A true son of New Jersey, he plundered the fields for the Dodgers and Angels from 1964 to 1973, then traded his mitt for a manager's cap, captaining teams like the White Sox and Mets!

This salty sea dog was part of the 1965 Dodgers crew that snagged a World Series trophy, yet later found himself adrift after bein' let go from the Marlins in 2003—just as they sailed into victory against the Yankees, no less! Torborg was a master of the managing seas, earning the title of A.L. Manager of the Year in 1990, leadin' the White Sox to a record that'd make any captain proud.

With a batting average of .214 and a treasure trove of 101 RBIs, he was no stranger to the rough waters of baseball. Though his managerial career was a wild ride—634 wins to 718 losses—he always kept the crew laughin’! So raise yer tankards high for Jeff Torborg, a true buccaneer of the baseball seas, now sailin’ among the stars! Arrr!
