    ST. LOUIS (AP) — Joaquin Andujar, a star pitcher with the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1980s who called himself "One tough Dominican," has died in his native Dominican Republic. He was 62.

    "He was a joy to manage," said former manager Whitey Herzog. "Everybody knew he didn't operate with a full deck most of the time, but when you had Joaquin on your ballclub, you were sitting on a firecracker every day."

    The team said he died Tuesday. Leonardo Matos Berrido, president of the Dominican Baseball League, said the cause was diabetes complications.

    "We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of the best pitchers in Cardinals history," Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his friends and his teammates today."
