Former Cubs, Orioles, Braves and Reds pitcher Milt Pappas, who totaled 209 wins, has passed away at the age of 76.
Was a young gun with the Orioles before going to the Reds as part of the historic return for Frank Robinson. From there, he moved to the Braves, where he was part of the 1969 Western championship team. His career concluded with four years with the Cubs, for whom he threw a no-hitter and was one ninth-inning pitch from a perfect game.
Off the field, the disappearance of his wife was a sad chapter for five years of his life. In 1987, her car and body were found in a pond less than a mile from her home after she disappeared on a shopping trip in 1982.
