Family and Death
Boros and his wife, Sharla, were married in 1973. They had two children, Sasha and Steve. He also had a daughter Renee from a previous marriage. His son Steve became a baseball scout for the New York Yankees. In 1996, Boros was honored with induction into the University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor.
In his later years, Boros suffered from multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells. He died at his home in Deland, Florida in December 2010 as the result of complications from the disease. After Boros' death, former Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Fred Claire wrote, "I don't know that I've ever met a nicer man in the game of baseball. I know I've never met a tougher and more determined man when it came to doing the right thing."
