The baseball world has recently lost another retired MLB star, Denny Doyle. The MLB community has put forth its sincere condolences on social media. A native-born of Glasgow, Kentucky, Doyle breathed his last on December 20th, 2022. He was 78 at the time of his death.

Doyle was a second baseman who played for the Philadelphia Phillies, California Angels, and Boston Red Sox. Having made his big league debut for the Phillies in 1970, some of his most unforgettable MLB moments came while playing for the Red Sox. And after an eventful short-lived MLB career, the late MLB legend retired from the game in 1977.

MLB fraternity joins in to mourn Denny Doyle’s death

Every baseball fan eyewitness to Doyle’s MLB career mostly remembers him as a Red Sox player. But he also once formed a significant part of the Phillies’ defense. Notably, Doyle was a much better fielder as compared to his batting. He made a fierce fielding pair with former Phillies shortstop, Larry Bowa.?

The legendary Bowa made his MLB debut alongside Doyle as a Phillies player in 1970. Moving ahead, he has also played for the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets. He made five All-Star appearances and had one World Series victory to credit throughout his MLB career. Doyle’s death hit Bowa hard on an emotional note.??

Bowa shared the tragic news of Doyle’s death on his Twitter account, quoting, “My heart is heavy today. We lost Denny Doyle, one of my favorite DP partners… My condolences to Martha and the entire Doyle family. RIP my friend.”?
