The late Oakland A’s broadcaster, alongside five others, will be inducted into the A’s Hall of Fame before Sunday’s game against the Giants.
OAKLAND — To fans, the brightest stars play on the field, hitting home runs and throwing strikes in front of thousands of adoring spectators. But to the players, the biggest stars are the figures in the background, who keep the operations running smoothly to little outside applause.
After winning a couple of World Series with the 1970’s A’s, Ray Fosse’s powerful voice narrated the Oakland A’s saga from 1985-2021, through its highs as a late-80’s dynasty and through its intermittent lows. The late radio broadcaster, who died last October after a long, private battle with cancer, will have his place in over a century’s worth of A’s history etched forever when he’s officially inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame on Sunday.
“I remember watching Ray and not knowing he was sick for as long as he was sick, and thinking of the character and strength it took for him to do what he loved every day,” Kotsay said. “The strength he showed was unbelievable.” “We miss Mr. Fosse, but Steve will poke his head in here from time to time, which has been good,” outfielder Stephen Piscotty said.
