Former top-10 MVP finalist Rico Carty, who played 15 seasons with six different teams, died Saturday in the Dominican Republic, the newspaper Listin Diario reported. Carty was 85.
Second in National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1964 to Dick Allen, Carty played his first seven seasons with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, earning his lone All-Star Game appearance in 1970 as a write-in candidate.
Carty was also 10th in NL MVP voting after the 1970 season when he batted .366 to win the NL batting title.
After nine seasons in the NL, Carty also played seven seasons in the American League, batting .299 with 204 home runs and 890 RBIs in 1,651 games.
