Ray Fosse, the TV color commentator and former player for the Oakland A's, died Wednesday after a long battle with cancer, the team announced. He was 74.

"The Oakland A's are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Ray Fosse," the A's posted on Twitter. "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 Oakland A's family."
