Ex-manager Jim Fregosi dies at 71

Former Major League manager and All-Star shortstop Jim Fregosi has died at 71, nearly one week after suffering multiple strokes during an MLB alumni cruise.

"He passed away at 2:36 a.m. [ET]," Jim Fregosi Jr., his oldest son, told MLB.com. "Went in peace with no pain."

Fregosi's family was at his bedside when he passed away. He was taken off life support on Thursday night after being airlifted from the Cayman Islands to Miami on Wednesday. Doctors had stabilized his condition at the time.

The long-time player, manager and scout was most recently a special assistant to Atlanta Braves general manager Frank Wren.

Fregosi played 18 seasons with the Angels, Mets, Rangers and Pirates and managed the Angels, White Sox, Phillies and Blue Jays. 

He was a six-time All-Star and was chosen by fans as the No. 1 player in Angels history as part of voting in conjunction with baseball's 100th anniversary.
