Bobby Bragan, nicknamed “Mr. Baseball” and considered Fort Worth’s ambassador of the sport, died Thursday night. He was 92.

Bragan became a part of Fort Worth baseball in the 1940s when he joined the Fort Worth Cats as a player/manager, and his outgoing personality, positive outlook on life and deep passion for baseball kept him in the city’s spotlight.
