A's broadcaster Ray Fosse reveals he has cancer, will step away from the booth [View all]
Ray Fosse, the TV color commentator for the Oakland A's, announced Thursday that he is stepping away from his broadcast duties effective immediately after revealing that he has been battling cancer for the past 16 years, according to a statement posted by the team on Twitter.
The 12-year Major League Baseball catcher played for Oakland from 1973 to 1975, winning two World Series with the team in 1973 and 1974. He was also named to the All-Star team twice and won two Gold Gloves, both in 1970 and 1971.
Fosse also played for the Cleveland Indians, Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers.

Two Cleveland baseball heroes from my youth -- Ray Fosse and Duane Kuiper -- each battling cancer. Damn.
Fosse has been the color analyst for the A's radio and television broadcasts since 1986. Kuiper has been calling Giants games (and doing commentary) since 1986 as well. There are none better in the business.
