Longtime Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Dick Groat, who also set a single-season NCAA scoring record at Duke and briefly played in the NBA, died on Thursday.
Groat’s family confirmed that he died at a Pittsburgh hospital on Thursday morning due to complications from a stroke he sustained last week.
Groat was a Pittsburgh-area native, and was a two-sport athlete in college at Duke. He was a two-time All-American basketball player for the Blue Devils, and set a NCAA single-season scoring record with 831 points as a junior during the 1950-51 season. Groat also led the Duke baseball team to its first ever College World Series in 1952.
