Duane Ward, a former relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, has died at the age of 62. He passed away from natural causes while in Toronto for a ceremony honoring the team's World Series championships. Ward was in the city to attend the unveiling of a statue at Rogers Centre commemorating the 1992 and 1993 World Series-winning teams. The Blue Jays confirmed his death in a statement, expressing sorrow and extending condolences to his family and friends. Ward spent eight seasons with Toronto, from 1986 to 1993, and was a key part of the bullpen during their back-to-back World Series victories. He was a two-time All-Star and led the American League in saves in 1993 with 45. After his playing career, Ward remained involved in baseball as a coach and mentor. The statue unveiling proceeded as planned, with a moment of silence held in his memory. Ward is survived by his wife and two children.
