Longtime major league outfielder Vic Davalillo has passed away at the age of 84, according to a Spanish-language report from El Extrabase.

A native of Venezuela, Davalillo began his pro baseball career in 1958. He signed with the Reds as a relief pitcher. After two and a half minor league seasons, he was traded to the Indians for cash. By the 1962 season, Cleveland had converted him to almost full-time outfield work. Davalillo spent that year in Triple-A before debuting in the big leagues the following season.

Listed at 5’7″ and 150 pounds, Davalillo was a high-contact hitter with a strong defensive reputation. He won a Gold Glove in his first full season in 1964. He was an All-Star selection the following year, receiving down-ballot MVP votes after hitting .301/.344/.372 and stealing 26 bases. The left-hander’s offensive numbers varied over the next few years, although he continued to play regularly in Cleveland for a while.

David Thomas Wehrmeister (November 9, 1952 — December 6, 2023) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher. Wehrmeister pitched parts of six seasons in the majors from 1976 to 1985, never pitching in more than 30 games

I loved Farrah and I always felt sorry for Tatum...but Ryan O'Neal appeared to be one of the most profoundly unhappy people during his life. Hopefully he has some peace now.
