Oakland A's Vida Blue, the hard-throwing left-hander who became one of baseball's biggest draws, in 1976."There are few players with a more decorated career than Vida Blue," the Athletics said."He was a three-time champion, an MVP, a six-time All-Star, a Cy Young Award winner, and an Oakland A's Hall of Famer. Vida will always be a franchise legend and a friend. We send our deepest condolences to his family and friends during this arduous time.

"Vida Blue rest in peace, my mentor, hero, and friend," former Athletics pitcher Dave Stewart wrote on Twitter."I remember watching a 19 year old phenom dominate baseball, and at the same time alter my life. There are no words for what you have meant to me and so many others. My heart goes out to the Blue family."
