Legendary coach John Stevenson Dies

John Stevenson, the winningest coach in California high school baseball history who recently completed his 50th season at El Segundo, has died from an apparent heart attack, while driving Monday night in the Marina del Rey area. Longtime assistant coach Craig Cousins will take over the coaching duties on an interim basis. A memorial will be held for Stevenson on Jan. 23 in the El Segundo High auditorium.
He was 76.

Stevenson coached George Brett and a handful of other major leaguers. His wife, Gail, died in September at age 68 after a 4 1/2-year battle with ovarian cancer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends at this most difficult time.
