Bob Welch Dead In His Bathtub After Fatal Heart Attack, Former Cy Young Winner

Remember Bob Welch? If you do, odds are it's for his vaunted career as a Cy Young Award-winning pitcher with the Dodgers and then the Oakland A's. More specifically you might know of his epic showdown with Reggie Jackson in Game 2 of the 1978 World Series. His friends and family, however, remember a good man who overcame alcoholism at an early age and who become beloved and respected inside the game and out. Welch was found dead in his bathtub on Monday June 9. He died of a heart attack.
