Fregosi suffered a stroke while on a Major League Baseball alumni cruise and was hospitalized. He was in a medically induced coma, a source told Rubin.
A spokeswoman for MSC Cruises said Fregosi became ill Tuesday as the MSC Divina was headed from Grand Cayman to Cozumel, Mexico. The ship returned to Grand Cayman, and Fregosi later was taken to a hospital in Miami.

I never realized Fregosi coached the Phillies in '93.
RIP, Fregosi.

Wow, 71 is just way too young.
I wasn't paying attention to the Jays when he was managing here. Why was he let go?

Pretty sad he always seemed like such a nice good hearted guy. I always remember a big ad in
the Toronto Star when he signed with us saying "Bella Fregosi!"
