"Jim will be greatly missed," the Cincinnati Reds said on
Twitter. It was not immediately clear how he died.
O'Toole pitched for the Reds, a National League team based in
Ohio, from the late 1950s to the late 1960s. The Chicago native
was seen as a crucial element in the Reds' win of its 1961
National League championship.
O'Toole, a father of 11 children, was inducted into the Reds
Hall of Fame in 1970.
He also played for the Chicago White Sox.
