Former MLB third basemen and Houston Astros manager died Thursday as Grady Hatton died of old age.

Alyssa Hatton, his granddaughter, told the Associated Press (AP) that Hatton, 90, died Thursday of the effects of old age at his home in Warren, the rural East Texas Piney Woods town that was his home for 40 years.

During a 12-year career, Hatton hit .254 with 91 home runs and 533 RBIs in 1,312 major league games from 1946 to 1960 with the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles and Chicago Cubs. He had a 164-221 record as Houston's manager from 1966-68.

When Hatton broke into the majors, he played for the Reds. Those may have his been his best statistical seasons, in which as a 23-year-old in 1946, he hit .271/.369/.422 with 14 homeruns and 69 RBI in 436 at-bats as a rookie and .281/.377/.448 and had 16 homers and 77 RBI as a sophomore in 1947.

Hatton played college baseball for the University of Texas. He also served in the U.S. Army during World War II.

A funeral is scheduled for Monday at First Baptist Church of Warren. He will be buried Mount Pisgah Cemetery near Woodville, according to the AP.
