Malzone, a six-times All-Star, had a .274 career batting
average.
He was also an outstanding fielder who won three Golden Glove
Awards.
Malzone played for the Red Sox from 1955-65, before moving to
the California Angels for one season before retiring.
"We mourn the loss of a man we all came to know as 'Malzie,' who
was venerated by Red Sox fans not only for his great glove at
third base but for his blue-collar dedication to his craft," Red
Sox chairman Tom Werner said in a statement.
"He played 150 games or more in seven consecutive seasons, and
missed just a total of two games in his first four seasons."
