News is spreading around and has now been confirmed by the Chicago Tribune that former Chicago Cubs pitcher Kevin Foster has died at the age of 39. Many of you will remember Foster pitching for the Cubs back in the mid 1990′s on some of those bad Cubs teams.

The former Evanston High star died in an Oklahoma City hospital after a six-month bout with renal cell carcinoma, his brother, Mark Foster told the Tribune.

We would like to send out our prayers to the family and friends of Mr. Foster.
