The Oakland Athletics, for whom he played three seasons and later worked as a broadcaster, said Wednesday they're "heartbroken" to learn of his death:
NBC Sports California shared a statement from his wife, Carol:
"It is with a heavy heart that Carol Fosse, Ray Fosse's wife of 51 years, shares the sad news that Ray Fosse lost his battle to cancer on October 13, 2021 after silently fighting it for the past 16 years. Carol and daughters, Nikki and Lindsey, send their love out to family, friends and fans that mourn his loss with them.
