ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Florida baseball spring training official David Cardwell has died. He was 64.
Cardwell died Wednesday at an Orlando hospital from complications involving respiratory illness and swine flu.
As executive director of Grapefruit League Association, Cardwell helped coordinate Major League Baseball's spring training in Florida.
Florida Sports Foundation spokesman Nick Gandy says Cardwell, an attorney, used his legal skills to keep teams from leaving their spring training homes in Florida for Arizona.
Cardwell also worked as an attorney for the Cape Coral Community Redevelopment Agency. He is credited with shaping much of the legislation uses by such agencies around the state.
