Death
Howser attempted a comeback during spring training of 1987 with Kansas City, but quickly found he was physically too weak and abandoned the attempt in late February, when Billy Gardner took over. Three months later, he died in St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, and was buried in Tallahassee, Florida. His death was caused by a brain tumor.
