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.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“I knew the poor,
I knew the hideous death they die,
when famine lays its bleak hand on the door;
I knew the rich,
sated with merriment,
who yet are sad.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Almost everybody in the neighborhood had “troubles,” frankly localized and specified; but only the chosen had “complications.” To have them was in itself a distinction, though it was also, in most cases, a death warrant. People struggled on for years with “troubles,” but they almost always succumbed to “complications.””
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“They are girls. Green girls.
Death and life is their daily work.
Death seams up and down the leaf.
I call the leaves my death girls.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
