Esposito Passes

Long time White Sox utility infielder Sam Esposito died Monday:

Sam Esposito, the North Carolina State baseball coach who played in the 1959 World Series for the Chicago White Sox, has died. He was 81.

The school says on its website he died Monday at a nursing home in Newland. A cause of was not given.

Esposito won 513 games for the Wolfpack and led them to four Atlantic Coast Conference baseball titles and third place in the 1968 College World Series.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Esposito was a poor hitter, but drew a good number of walks. His defense looked very good early which is why he stayed on the team. He had much more success as a college coach.
