Los Angeles Dodgers legend Manny Mota suffered a stroke Monday night time, the group introduced.
The Dodgers say Mota is “in restoration, the place he’s conscious of instructions and is resting comfortably.”
Mota, 87, debuted in Main League Baseball in 1962 with the San Francisco Giants. He joined the Dodgers halfway by means of the 1969 season, and would spend the remainder of his profession in Los Angeles.
Mota was an All-Star in 1973, and spent 13 seasons with the Dodgers, hitting .315 with an OPS of .765.
Throughout his 20-year profession, he hit .304 with 31 dwelling runs, 438 runs batted in, 125 doubles, and an OPS of .744.
Mota retired from taking part in on the age of 44. The Dominican Republic native was a coach for the Dodgers from 1980 till 2013, starting as a player-coach.
His 34 consecutive seasons as a coach is the longest in group historical past, and the second-longest streak in MLB historical past.
Mota was part of the 1981 and 1988 World Collection successful groups as a coach. He retired from teaching in 2013 to grow to be a full-time broadcaster, and was a Spanish-language broadcaster for SportsNet LA.
Mota was inducted into the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Corridor of Fame in 2003. He was inducted into the Baseball Reliquary’s Shrine of the Eternals in 2013.
Mota has three sons, Tony, Andy, and Jose, the latter of which is a Spanish-language broadcaster overlaying the Dodgers for SNLA.
Dodgers Nation needs Mota a speedy restoration.
