Gary Kolb, an OF-C for the Cardinals, Pirates, and others during the 1960s, passed away on July 3, 2019 at age 79.
Kolb came up with the Cardinals, but played in the minors every season from 1960-73, except for '65, '68, and '69. Those seasons, he managed to stay with a major league club all year (Braves and Mets in '65, and Pirates from 1968-69).
He was primarily an outfielder but was also his team's emergency catcher.
