John Stevenson, the legendary head baseball coach at El Segundo High School and the winningest coach in California history, died Monday evening of a possible heart attack. He was 76.

Born in October 1933, the lifelong South Bay resident attended and played baseball at Redondo Union High School, El Camino College and UCLA.

He began his coaching career at El Segundo as a 26-year-old in 1960. During his 50-year coaching tenure with the Eagles - the longest in South Bay history - he compiled a record of 1,059-419 and led his teams to seven CIF championships.

A public memorial service is planned for Jan. 23 in the El Segundo High School auditorium.
