WestEddy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Former MLB catcher and Chicago White Sox manager Jeff Torborg passed away this morning in Westfield, N.J. He was 83 years old. Torborg was named the 1990 A.L. Manager of the Year after guiding the Sox to a 94-68 record that season, a 25-game improvement from the previous year. pic.twitter.com/cKpNNdLod7 — Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) January 20, 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Just heard the news and am devastated. Jeff, Billy Pierce and Roland Hemond were three of the finest men I ever knew. Words fail me right now. We talked often over the years and he was always gracious with a lot of stories. I'll call the family on Monday. Just terrible news. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great baseball man and a real decent man. A big loss for the Sox and their fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 He did a good job with the Sox, but got the Doug Collins treatment (and wasn't replaced by Phil, to say the least). May he rest in peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I've been working on a story about Jeff with many of his quotes and stories. I'll post the link when it comes up. Left a message for his wife Susie today, still can't believe it, just spoke with him a month or so ago around the holidays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
