Former Cardinals ace Joaquin Andujar dies at 62
Leonardo Matos Berrido, president of the Dominican Baseball League, said the cause was diabetes complications.
Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano, who like Andujar is from San Pedro de Macoris, wrote on his Instagram account that Andujar's death was a "big pain for all baseball fans, especially all Dominicans, but even more so for all of us who had the chance to know you and learn from your example."
The Cardinals planned a tribute to the fiery right-hander, who threw as hard to first base as to the hitters, before playing the Cubs.
Herzog fondly recalled that Andujar sent his wife and all the coaches' wives charms with diamonds after the 1982 championship.
Enos Cabell, a special assistant to Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow, played with Andujar for five seasons at the beginning of the pitcher's career.
