Former Cubs' 2nd baseman Glenn Beckert passed away on April 12, 2020 at age 79.
Beckert was the Cubs' regular 2nd baseman from Opening Day in 1965 until early-August 1973. His double-play partner was Don Kessinger for that entire time.
He won the Gold Glove award in 1968, and was an All-Star every season from 1969-72, and in the starting lineup in '70 and '71.
After the 1973 season he was traded to the Padres, and was a bench player there until he was released in late-April 1975.
