Former Brewers pitcher and Hall of Famer Don Sutton dies at 75

COOPERSTOWN, NY (CBS 58) -- Don Sutton, former Brewers pitcher and Hall of Famer, has died at age 75.

Sutton won 324 games over 23 big league seasons with the Brewers, Dodgers, Astros, Athletics and Angels, according to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

“Don Sutton’s brilliance on the field, and his lasting commitment to the game that he so loved, carried through to his time as a Member of the Hall of Fame,” said Jane Forbes Clark, Chairman of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. “I know how much he treasured his moments in Cooperstown, just as we treasured our special moments with him. We share our deepest condolences with his wife, Mary, and his family.
