Art Savage, the majority owner of the Sacramento River Cats, the Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, has died. He was 58.
Jeff Savage says his father collapsed at his Sacramento home Saturday and died on the way to the hospital. He says his father had recently recovered from a long battle with lung cancer.
Savage bought the team when it was based in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1998. He moved the club to Vancouver, British Columbia, for a year before relocating to Sacramento in 2000. The River Cats won Triple-A championships in 2007 and 2008.
Jeff Savage said the family will retain control of the team.
