Longtime Rangers Clubhouse Manager To Be Laid To Rest

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - Longtime Rangers Clubhouse manager Joe Macko will be remembered Wednesday in a service at the Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Arlington.

Visitation will be Tuesday, December 30 at Moore Funeral Home in Arlington.

Joe Macko passed away Friday in Fort Worth. He was 86 years old.

After years of playing in the minors, Macko served as a player-manager in the Cubs organization in his final four pro seasons and even briefly coached with the major league club in 1964.

He worked as the general manager of the Texas League's Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs before the Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers in 1971.

Marking the start of a relationship which spanned more than four decades, Macko initially joined the team as a business manager and became the clubhouse manager one year later.

He moved to the role of visiting clubhouse manager from 1995-2000 before retiring and becoming a goodwill ambassador for the team.
