DENVER (AP) -Bob Howsam, a former general manager of the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals and a founder of the Denver Broncos, died Tuesday in Sun City, Ariz., his son said.
Howsam was 89 and had heart problems, said his son, Robert Howsam of Colorado Springs.
In a career that bridged two sports and several leagues, Howsam’s guiding principle was that the fans came first, his son said.
“He felt like hey, the players are really important, yes, the owners (are important), but the fans are No. 1,” the son said.
Howsam said his father lived in a retirement home in Sun City with his wife, Janet Howsam. He would have turned 90 on Feb. 28.
