*Former Gold Glove winner Roy McMillan dead at 68*

-------------------------------------------------- 

Roy McMillan, a three-time Gold Glove winner and a former
manager of the New York Mets, died Sunday of heart failure at
his home in Bonham, Texas. He was 68. 

McMillan played the first 10 of his 15 major league seasons with
the Cincinnati Reds and won the first three Gold Gloves awarded
to a shortstop (1957-1959). An All-Star in 1956 and 1957,
McMillan played for the Milwaukee Braves and the Mets before
concluding that phase of his career in 1966. 

After several years as a scout, McMillan returned to the Mets in
1973 as a first base coach.  He became interim manager for the
final 53 games of the 1975 season following the firing of Yogi
Berra.  The Mets lost 16 of their final 26 games and McMillan
was replaced as manager the following season by Joe Frazier.
