One of the original pitchers to make an appearance for both MLB Seattle franchises, Diego Segui, died at the age of 87 on Tuesday. Segui was one of the few players to pitch for both the Seattle Pilots (now Milwaukee Brewers) and Seattle Mariners, and held the unique distinction of pitching in the first games for both franchises.
Diego Segui, a 15-year journeyman pitcher in the major leagues who made his mark in Seattle baseball history, has died. He was 87. The death of Segui, a native of Cuba, was announced Tuesday on social media by Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
