Are you sure? It looks like twitter is the only place with a report of his death. Could be a hoax. Other credible companies have tweeted deaths prematurely before because of internet hype. Even wikipedia doesn't have his DOD yet.

A sad day for Flatbush...
RIP Silver Fox

The Dodgers just posted it in their Twitter as well.

RIP. I remember getting a ball signed by the Duke back in Cooperstown. A nice guy and a class act. Sad day.

Man this sucks, he was a great guy. RIP

Very sad, remember meeting him in Fallbrook at a high school HR derby, extremely nice person that will be missed
