“We mourn the passing of Orioles Hall of Fame second baseman Rich Dauer, who spent his entire 10-year career with the O’s,” the club posted on social media. “We send our deepest sympathies to the Dauer family as well as his many teammates and friends.”

The Baltimore Orioles have announced the death of Rich Dauer, a former big-league infielder and coach who was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame in 2012. Dauer, 72, was roughly two years removed from suffering a massive stroke.

Rich Dauer won two College World Series at USC, one World Series as a player with the Baltimore Orioles and one World Series as a coach with the Houston Astros.
