RIP - Billy Bryan

 
Billy Bryan, a backup catcher for the Athletics and Yankees, passed away on April 9, 2026 at age 87.
Bryan played parts of 1961-63, and all of 1964-65 with the Kansas City Athletics. Mostly a backup, he started about half the games in 1965. 
 
In June 1966 he was traded to the Yankees along with pitcher Fred Talbot. He spent most of 1967 with the Yankees' AAA team. 
 
Bryan split the 1968 season between the Washington Senators and their AAA team. He ended his career with the Phillies' single-A team in 1970.
