Summary
Joe McDonald, the legendary baseball executive who helped shape MLB history for nearly 70 years, has died at 97. A six-time World Series champion, he led the Mets to their first title in 1969 and navigated the controversial Seaver trade in 1977. His legacy also includes championships with the Cardinals (1982) and Red Sox (2004–2007), where he guided four more titles. Starting as a scout, he rose to GM roles across franchises, continuing to scout into his 80s — a true ambassador of the game whose passion defined his career.
