Baseball's Hall of Fame says former American League President Lee MacPhail has
died at 95.
He died Thursday night at his home in Delray Beach, Fla. He had been the

father into the Hall and his son became a top executive for several major league
teams.
MacPhail was the son of Larry MacPhail, who was president of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, CEO and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers and co-owner, president
and GM of the New York Yankees.
