Ray Fosse, longtime MLB catcher and announcer, dies at 74 after 16-year battle with cancer
Fosse enjoyed a 12-year career in the majors as a catcher. He broke into the big leagues with Cleveland in 1967 and he later made the All-Star Game in 1970 and 1971. Fosse's inclusion in the 1970 contest has become ingrained in the sport's memory because of Pete Rose's decision to barrel over Fosse. That collision left Fosse with a fractured and dislocated shoulder -- injuries that plagued him the rest of his career, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.
