Torborg won the 1965 World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. His tenure as Mets manager was less successful.

Jeff Torborg, who was the New York Mets' skipper for two seasons from 1992-1993, has passed away at the age of 83.

He called every pitch of Sandy Koufax’s perfect game in 1965. After 10 seasons playing in the majors, he skippered the White Sox and the Mets.
