Legendary Hall of Fame Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog has died, according to Herzog’s representative Kathy Dampier.  He had been a guest speaker at the 18FORE Life Banquet in 2014.  The event is organized by Scott Kruse and family.

Herzog was the Cardinals’ general manager for 18 years. During his run, he had 1,281 regular season wins and won three National League championships, including the 1982 World Series title, according to the Baseball Hall of Fame. While he was the general manager, the Cardinals had seven players who finished with high steal totals in 1982.

Before Herzog was with the Cardinals, he was with the Kansas City Royals from 1975-79, where he won 90 or more games.

Herzog’s last interview with First Alert 4 was in May 2023 after the passing of fellow Cardinals Hall of Famer Mike Shannon.
