"He was a talented and personable individual, and we were proud to call him a member of the Baseball Family," Manfred continued. "On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my deepest sympathies to Darryl's family and his many friends throughout our game."

Hamilton played for the Brewers, Texas Rangers, Colorado Rockies, San Francisco Giants and New York Mets before he retired in 2001.
