Former Major League Baseball pitcher George Frazier passed away at the age of 68, the Colorado Rockies announced. Frazier, who pitched for several teams including the Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, and Chicago Cubs, was a key part of the Twins' 1987 World Series championship team. Following his playing career, he transitioned into broadcasting, serving as a color analyst for the Rockies from 1998 to 2015.

Frazier's time with the Yankees included a difficult 1981 World Series, where he became the only pitcher to lose three games in a seven-game series. However, he later found redemption with the Twins in 1987, contributing two scoreless innings in their World Series victory. Rockies commentator Drew Goodman, who worked with Frazier, remembered him fondly for his storytelling and generous spirit, noting his unique blend of truth and embellishment. Rockies manager Bud Black also shared his memories of Frazier, describing him as a true "baseball guy" who always enjoyed discussing the sport.

Frazier’s broadcasting career with the Rockies spanned nearly two decades, making him a familiar voice for a generation of fans. The Rockies organization expressed their condolences to his wife, Kay, and their four children, acknowledging his significant contribution to the team and the sport.
