Four-time All-Star first baseman, Moose Skowron, has passed away at the age of 81. He helped the New York Yankees win four World Series titles and seven American League pennants throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s.

He’ll be missed.

Old Timers Day will not be the same! "Moose" Skowron has passed! @YankeesPR loved him. We all did. He was a true character.

R.I.P. Moose Skowron. What a joy to be around. I'll never forget all the stories he shared in the booth (most not suitable for air).

Saddened to hear of the passing of former Boiler Bill "Moose" Skowron today. He was a 6-time MLB All-Star & 5-time World Series champ.
