Jeff Torborg, who spent ten seasons as a player in Major League Baseball and managed for parts of eleven more seasons, passed away on Sunday at the age of 83.

Teams such as the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Guardians, and Miami Marlins expressed their sympathies on social media following his death. The cause has not been disclosed.

Torborg served as a catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1964 to 1970, during which time he was behind the plate for Sandy Koufax’s perfect game in 1965 and also caught a no-hitter by Bill Singer in 1970. He was part of the Dodgers’ World Series-winning team in 1965.

Originally from New Jersey, Torborg attended Montclair State and Rutgers University. He played for the California Angels from 1971 to 1973 and was the catcher for Nolan Ryan’s first no-hitter in 1973.

Recognized mainly for his defensive skills, Torborg had a batting average of .214 and hit eight home runs with 101 RBIs across 574 games.

In 1977, he became the manager of the Cleveland Indians after the dismissal of Frank Robinson, staying with the team through the 1979 season. He also managed the White Sox (1989-91), New York Mets (1992-93), Montreal Expos (2001), and the Marlins (2002-03).

Torborg was named the American League Manager of the Year in 1990 while with the White Sox. Over his managerial career, he recorded a 157-201 win-loss record.
