To: Baseball Necrology <BaseballNecrology@yahoogroups.com>

From the LA Times:
 
Preston Gomez, the longtime Angels scouting consultant who had been third-base coach for the Dodgers when they won the 1965 World Series, died Tuesday, nine months after being seriously injured in a freak accident at a Blythe, Calif., gas station. He was 85.

Gomez, who became the second big-league manager born in Latin America when hired by the expansion San Diego Padres in 1969, and later managed the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros, died at St. Elizabeth Healthcare Center in Fullerton with his wife, Betty, and stepdaughter, Claudia, by his side, the Angels announced.

The cause of death was not immediately specified, but those close to him said he never fully recovered from the injuries he suffered in the accident.
