ATLANTA (AP) – Riccardo Ingram, a longtime minor league coach in the Minnesota Twins organization and a former football and baseball star at Georgia Tech, has died at the age of 48 following his second battle with brain cancer.
Georgia Tech said Ingram died on Tuesday night.
Ingram is a member of Georgia Tech’s Sports Hall of Fame. He was an All-Atlantic Coast Conference defensive back in 1986 before leading the Yellow Jackets to the 1987 ACC baseball championship.
He began his long career as a minor league coach following brief stints in the majors with Detroit in 1994 and the Twins in 1995.
Ingram was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and returned to coaching following six weeks of radiation therapy. The cancer returned in 2014.
