I was a huge fan of those late 80's/early 90's A's teams.
So good and so many personalities.
RIP
I remember Mike Schmidt taking him yard quite a few times.
Great, great pitcher who could have been even better had he not battled alcoholism
Yeah, they didn't list a cause of death, but it sure sounds like it was drugs or alcohol.
The Oakland teams he was on were such a great team to watch. They had incredible pitching and great offense. As a fan of another team, I truly hated them, but enjoyed watching them just the same.

If quite a few times is 3, you are correct. Anything positive to say? The man died, you know.
RIP Bob Welch. He was a very good pitcher.
