“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.”

Rich Dauer, an infielder who played a decade in the major leagues and won a World Series as a player with Baltimore and as a coach with the Houston Astros, has died at 72, the Orioles announced on Monday without denoting a cause of death.

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.
