(MLB.com New York Yankees)

Mel Stottlemyre, one of the most respected pitching coaches of recent decades who worked for World Series championship teams of the Yankees and the Mets -- and before that was a five-time All-Star for the Yankees in the late 1960s and early `70s -- died Sunday after a long battle with bone marrow cancer. He was 77.
