Baseball legend Rico Carty dead at 85 after spending two weeks in hospital in Atlanta

Major League Baseball legend Rico Carty has died at the age of 85 after a two-week hospital stay with intestinal complaints.

Due to the problems, Carty was taken by his children to a hospital in Atlanta, where he has remained since his admission.

Carty played in the MLB for most of the 1960s and 1970s and is perhaps best known for his time with the Braves.

There’s more to come.
