NEW YORK (AP) -- Hank Bauer, the hard-nosed ex-Marine who returned to baseball after being wounded during World War II and went on to become a cornerstone of the New York Yankees dynasty of the 1950s, died Friday. He was 84.

Bauer died of cancer in Shawnee Mission, Kan., said the Baltimore Orioles. Bauer managed the 1966 Orioles to their first World Series title.

I was lucky enough to communicate with this guy and he seemed like a great man, he will surely be missed. RIP

He sure had a voice that didn't match up with his looks.
I always liked him.
