Katy Feeney, a baseball executive for four decades and a daughter of former National League President Chub Feeney, has died. She was 68.
Feeney died Saturday while visiting relatives in Maine. She had not shown any sign of illness, baseball officials said. She had retired from baseball in December after working her final postseason.
Feeney was hired by the NL in 1977 and rose to Major League Baseball’s senior vice president of club relations and scheduling. She was among the most prominent women in baseball and the sport’s go-to expert on the complicated rules governing the schedule.
My thoughts go out to her family and friends. I always thought scheduling the season would be an interesting job. It’s the kind of process where a computer helps tremendously, but you still need the human touch for all the little quirks that are tough to program.
