Red Sox scout Chuck Koney dies

The Boston Red Sox are mourning the death of former prospect and scout Chuck Koney.

The team said Koney died on Monday in Orland Park, Ill., at the age of 90. He had been a scout in the organization for more than 40 years after his playing career ended when he lost a leg in a home heater explosion.

Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey offered Koney a lifetime job with the team. He spent the next 42 years as a scout, at one time visiting Carl Yastrzemski at Notre Dame and hitting fly balls to the future Hall of Famer.

His last year as a scout was in 1992. He remained with the Red Sox as a consultant.
