Former Boston Red Sox Star Mike Greenwell Dies At 62

Former Boston Red Sox left fielder Mike Greenwell has died at age 62 after a brief battle with medullary thyroid cancer.

Greenwell spent his entire 12-year Major League career with Boston, earning two All-Star selections and later induction into the team's Hall of Fame.

After retiring from baseball, he served as a Lee County commissioner in Florida.

Greenwell was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2008.

Greenwell publicly revealed his diagnosis in August and had been working remotely from home in recent months.
