SALT LAKE CITY — Former Major League Baseball player and manager Herman Franks has died. He was 95.

Franks' daughter says he died Monday of congestive heart failure at his home in Salt Lake City.

The San Francisco Giants issued a statement Tuesday night, calling Franks a "true Giant" for his role in the team's history. He only played one game for the club in 1949, but went on to coach under manager Leo Durocher.

Franks managed the Giants from 1965-68, a run of four straight second-place finishes. His former players included future Hall of Famers in Orlando Cepeda, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry. Franks went on to manage the Cubs from 1977-79.

Franks played for the Cardinals, Dodgers, Athletics and Giants over six seasons.
