Ken Clay, who won World Series championships with the New York Yankees in 1977-78 to highlight his five-year major league career, has died at the age of 71.

The executive medical director for a medical facility in Lynchburg, Virginia, said Clay died Thursday at home in Lynchburg. Clay’s cause of death was related to heart and kidney issues.

Clay made 111 appearances in the majors and was 10-24 with three saves and a 4.68 ERA. He had a run of legal problems after his playing career ended.

He was once sentenced to one year in a Virginia jail for stealing $550 from the car dealership where he worked.
