Jeff Torborg Passes Away

By Mark Polishuk | January 19, 2025 at 6:26pm CDT

Longtime former big league catcher, manager, and broadcaster Jeff Torborg
passed away today at age 83, the White Sox announced.  Torborg played for 10
seasons with the Dodgers and Angels from 1964-73, and then managed the
Indians, White Sox, Mets, Expos, and Marlins over parts of 11 seasons from
1977-2003.

芝加哥白襪隊今日發新聞稿指出，前捕手、總教練、主播的Jeff Torborg逝世，享壽83歲
。Torborg於1964年至1973年效力洛杉磯道奇隊、加州天使隊，之後1977年至2003年在多
隊擔任總教練。

Torborg was the Dodgers’ backup catcher behind John Roseboro and then Tom
Haller during his seven seasons in Chavez Ravine, and this tenure was
highlighted by a World Series with Los Angeles’ 1965 championship team.
 That same season saw Torborg play a big role in one of the most memorable
pitching performances in baseball history — Sandy Koufax’s 14-strikeout
perfect game against the Cubs on September 9.

Torborg在效力道奇隊期間，擔任John Roseboro與Tom Haller的替補捕手，其中獲得了
1965年的世界大賽冠軍，在同年的9月9日，他與Sandy Koufax搭檔幫助Koufax對芝加哥小
熊隊投出14次奪三振的完全比賽。

Torborg holds a unique place in baseball history as the only catcher who
caught no-hitters from both Koufax and Nolan Ryan, as Torborg was behind the
plate for the first of Ryan’s record seven career no-nos on May 15, 1973.
 Torborg also caught Bill Singer’s no-hitter on July 20, 1970, and is one of
only 18 catchers to ever catch three different no-hit games.

Torborg唯一一位曾擔任過Koufax與Nolan Ryan的無安打比賽的捕手，他在1973年5月15日
接了Ryan生涯七場無安打比賽的第一場，此外，他也在1970年7月20日搭檔Bill Singer達
成無安打比賽，成為大聯盟歷史中接過三場無安打比賽的捕手（共18人）。

Over 574 games and 1525 plate appearances, Torborg hit eight home runs with a
career slash line of .214/.268/.265.  He retired after the 1973 season at the
end of a three-year stint with the Angels, and quickly moved into coaching
with a job on the Indians’ staff in 1975.  This led to Torborg’s first
managerial gig, as he was promoted to become Cleveland’s skipper partway
through the 1977 season, and he managed the club through the end of the 1979
campaign.

Torborg生涯成績介紹，1975年開始擔任克里夫蘭印地安人隊教練直到1979年。

It took a decade for Torborg to become a manager again, as after he spent the
next decade on the Yankees’ coaching staff, he was hired as Chicago’s new
manager prior to the start of the 1989 season.  He won only 69 games in his
first year, but after the Sox surged to a 90-win season in 1990, Torborg was
named the American League’s Manager of the Year.  The White Sox won 87 games
in 1991 to finish second in the AL West for the second consecutive season, as
Torborg’s Sox were beaten out first by an Athletics team that won three
straight AL pennants, and then by the upstart Twins who won the 1991 World
Series.

Torborg在紐約洋基隊擔任教練直到1989年才被芝加哥白襪隊聘請為新總教練，1989年拿
69勝、1990年拿94勝並獲取最佳總教練，1991年拿87勝。

This successful run in Chicago led the Mets to lure Torborg away to become
their next manager, with Torborg receiving a hefty four-year, $1.7MM contact.
 Unfortunately, the 1992 Mets were one of the more infamous teams in
franchise history, as the club’s splashy acquisitions of Bobby Bonilla, Bret
Saberhagen, and others resulted in only a 72-90 record.  After the Mets
stumbled again to a 13-25 start in 1993, Torborg was fired with more than two
and a half years remaining on his contract.

Torborg與紐約大都會隊簽下4年170萬美金的合約，結果1992年-1993年成績不好被開除（
球隊有在1992年高薪簽下Bobby Bonilla與用三名球員換來的Bret Saberhagen，但成績不
如預期）。

Torborg returned to the dugout in 2001 as the Expos’ manager, but when
then-Expos owner Jeffrey Loria took over as the Marlins’ new owner prior to
the 2002 season, Torborg also went to South Florida as the Marlins’ new
skipper.  Torborg had a 95-105 record in parts of two years with the Marlins,
and the 2003 team went on to win the World Series after Jack McKeon stepped
in as Torborg’s replacement.  Torborg’s overall managerial record was
634-718 over 1352 games with his five clubs.

Torborg最後去佛羅里達馬林魚隊當總教練。2003年剛開打就被開除，但最後馬林魚隊獲
得世界大賽冠軍。

Both before and after these stints in Montreal and Florida, Torborg worked as
a TV and radio broadcaster.  He worked for CBS Radio throughout the 1990’s
and for Fox in both the 90’s and 2000s, with Torborg calling Braves games in
2006.

Torborg當主播。
