Ralph Kiner, who slugged his way to the baseball Hall of Fame and then enjoyed a half-century career as a popular broadcaster, died Thursday. The baseball Hall of Fame said Kiner died at his home in Rancho Mirage with his family at his side. Kiner hit 369 home runs during his 10-year career, mostly with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Several years later, he joined the broadcast crew of the New York Mets for their expansion season in 1962 and became a permanent fixture - the home TV booth at Shea Stadium was named in his honor.
