Fosse was a budding talent for Cleveland when he made his first All-Star team as a 23-year-old in 1970, the same year he hit .307 with a career-high 18 homers and won the first of two Gold Gloves while throwing out 55% of attempted base stealers.

Wednesday. “Few people epitomize what it means to be an Athletic more than Ray. He was the type of franchise icon who always made sure every player, coach, colleague, and fan knew that they were part of the A’s family. We send our deepest condolences to Carol, Nikki and Lindsey, his family, and friends during this difficult time. We’ll miss you, Ray.”

"My body hurts. My shoulder still hurts,” he said."There was not anybody at the time to say, 'Don't play.' I continued. That’s something that I take with a lot of pride."

What a shit headline.

Ray Fosse, the longtime Oakland A's broadcaster and former All-Star catcher, died Wednesday following a long battle with cancer, the team confirmed. He was 74.

Am I the only person shocked that the famous collision was during a light, fun All-Star game?

Pete rose killed him

Here, I fixed it: Ray Fosse, former MLB catcher and longtime broadcaster, has died at 74, his wife says.

That would be the 1 way he didn't want to be remembered.
