FRESNO, CA - Fresno Grizzlies President Chris Cummings issued the following statement regarding the passing this afternoon of longtime Grizzlies Ambassador and former Major Leaguer Gus Zernial:

"Gus has been a part of the Grizzlies' family dating back to its very beginning. Following his 11-year Major League career, he spent his retired life promoting his joy for and love of the game throughout the Central Valley. His spirit and energy helped bring baseball back to Fresno, and we are eternally grateful for everything he has meant to this community. His positive impact cannot be understated.

We will truly miss his vitality and his humor, both of which made this world a better place. The thoughts and prayers of everyone in the Grizzlies family go out to Gus' family, friends and colleagues."
