Gil McDougald, the Yankees’ versatile All-Star infielder who played on five World Series championship teams but was remembered as well for a single at-bat resulting in one of baseball’s most frightening moments, died Sunday at his home in Wall Township, N.J. He was 82.
He led A.L. infielders in double plays at third base (1952), second base (1955) and shortstop (1957). He retired after the 1960 season when it appeared he would be selected in an expansion draft by the newly formed Washington Senators or Los Angeles Angels.
