PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) — George Kissell, a former major league coach who worked with the St. Louis Cardinals organization since 1940, died Tuesday. He was 88.
Kissell died at Tampa General Hospital, Pinellas Park Police Capt. Sanfield Forseth said. Police said Kissell’s daughter was driving her parents Monday night when she apparently ran a red light and was hit by another car. His daughter and wife survived, and the other driver had minor injuries.
Kissell was a major league coach from 1969-75. He was a senior field coordinator for player development at the time of his death.
