Randy Moffitt, MLB Star and Billie Jean King’s Brother, Dies at 76

BREAKING: Randy Moffitt, former Major League Baseball reliever and brother of tennis icon Billie Jean King, has died at the age of 76 following a prolonged illness. Moffitt passed away on Thursday in Long Beach, California, as confirmed by a family representative.

Moffitt’s death marks the loss of a celebrated athlete who contributed significantly to the sport over his 12-season career. He was drafted in the first round by the San Francisco Giants in 1970, making his major league debut in 1972. Throughout his career, Moffitt played 10 seasons with the Giants, followed by stints with the Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays.

In total, he recorded a career record of 43-52 with 96 saves and a 3.65 ERA across 534 appearances, primarily in relief roles. His contributions to the Giants were recognized with induction into the San Francisco Giants Wall of Fame in 2008 and the Long Beach State University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986.

Born on October 13, 1948, in Long Beach, Randy Moffitt was the son of Bill and Betty Moffitt. He is survived by two daughters, Miranda Harrah and her husband, Rusty, Alysha Gosse and her husband, James, along with four grandchildren. His sister, Billie Jean King, alongside her wife, Ilana Kloss, expressed deep sorrow over the loss of their beloved family member.

Moffitt’s legacy extends beyond his performance on the mound. He was a source of inspiration, not only for his athletic prowess but also for his connection to King, a champion of equality and women’s rights. His passing is felt deeply within the sports community and among those who admired his family’s impact on sports and society.

As tributes pour in from friends and former teammates, fans are reminded of Moffitt’s contributions to baseball and his remarkable family legacy. More details on memorial services and tributes are expected in the coming days, as the sports world mourns a true icon.
