Charlie Wagner, who pitched for the Boston Red Sox during the 1930s and '40s and worked for the organization for 70 years, died early Thursday of an apparent heart attack. He was 93.
Wagner was stricken after attending a minor-league game in his hometown of Reading, Pa.
Reading Police Capt. Francis Drexler said Wagner was found in the passenger seat of his car in the parking lot at FirstEnergy Stadium, where he was a fixture and participated in an awards ceremony at the Reading-New Britain game. He was pronounced dead of natural causes.

Slugger David Ortiz was discharged from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on Thursday after he underwent tests on his heart.
Ortiz said he has been cleared of any heart abnormalities.
"It's not my heart," Ortiz said. "The doctors ran all sorts of tests on me and my heart was not the problem at all. It was the lower part of my right pectoral muscle that, for some reason, was shaking. It scared me because I had never felt anything like that in my chest. But after all the tests, they said my heart was fine."
