1950s/60s Pirates' outfielder Bill Virdon passed away on November 23, 2021 at age 90.
Virdon began his career with the Cardinals, and was the NL Rookie of the Year in 1955. He was inexplicably traded away to the Pirates the following May for a bag of beans, and became the Bucs' center fielder for the next 10 years.
He also managed the Pirates, Yankees, Astros, and Expos from 1972 to 1984.
