Former Milwaukee Brewers general manager Harry Dalton, who was responsible for putting together the team that reached the 1982 World Series, passed away Sunday. He was 77-years-old. Dalton, who was the team's GM for 14 years (1978-91), became the Brewers' first-ever executive vice president/general manager when he was hired. In 1981, Milwaukee captured a division title and followed that up winning the club's first-ever pennant the next season. Then, in the World Series, the Brewers eventually fell to St. Louis in thrilling seven-game series. Dalton's teams compiled a .520 winning percentage and 1,149 wins over his tenure. Following his stint as GM, he spent three seasons as the team's executive vice president/special projects before retiring in 1994. The Brewers issued the following statement on Dalton's behalf: "The entire Milwaukee Brewers organization and its fans today mourn the loss of one of our own, Harry Dalton. Harry's 17 years with the organization were marked by outstanding team achievements, including the team's first-ever pennant and World Series appearance, and he will be remembered as one of the organization's legends. He was also one of the community's greatest supporters and he did much to make the city of Milwaukee a better place for all of us to call home. Our sympathies are with his family."
