RIP.  This guy was fun to watch in his prime.

I was a huge fan of those late 80's/early 90's A's teams.

 

So good and so many personalities.

 

RIP

Great, great pitcher who could have been even better had he not battled alcoholism

LEONARD FOURNETTE FAN CLUB PRESIDENT. I WAS BEHIND HIM WHEN YOU ALL SAID HE WAS BRANDON JACOBS. QUIT HATING ON THE JAGUARS. GUS IS GONE. COUGHLIN HAS RESTORED ORDER. FOURNETTE IS FRED TAYLOR. DONT BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH.

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.
