Ron Perranoski, 2-time World Series champ with Los Angeles Dodgers, dies at 84

Ron Perranoski, the left-handed ace of the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen who helped them win a pair of World Series championships in the 1960s, has died. He was 84.

He died Friday night at his home in Vero Beach, Florida, of complications from a long illness, his sister Pat Zailo told The Associated Press on Saturday.

Perranoski is the third former Dodgers player to die in a week, along with outfielders Jay Johnstone and "Sweet" Lou Johnson, a teammate of Perranoski's from 1965 to 1967.

Perranoski played in the major leagues from 1961 to 1973 for the Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers and California Angels. He had a career record of 79-74 with 178 saves and a 2.79 ERA.
