Torborg replaced Indians manager Frank Robinson on June 19, 1977. The Indians made history by hiring Robinson before the 1975 season, but by 1977 the Indians were struggling, and the front office of Gabe Paul and Phil Seghi decided a change was in order.

Jeff Torborg, the former catcher who caught Sandy Koufax’s perfect game and was the 1990 AL manager of the year with the Chicago White Sox, died Sunday. He was 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.
