Vida Blue Net Worth At The Time of Death

Former baseball pitcher, Vida Blue reportedly had an estimated net worth of around $1.5 million. Considering that he was one of the best players in the game in the ’70s, it is very understandable that he was able to rake in such a great amount of wealth over the years.

He was announced his death by his family. According to them, he died on Saturday, May 6, 2023.

“It is with great sadness that the Blue family mourns the passing of our beloved father Vida Blue. Vida Blue was a great father, grandfather, brother, friend, and teammate who will forever be cherished, honored, and loved. We appreciate your uplifting prayers as we deal with the overwhelming loss of our father. We ask for respect and privacy during this challenging time,” the family said in the statement.

Blue had one of the greatest pitching seasons in baseball history as of 1971, with stats including a 1.83 ERA, 0.95 WHIP in 312 innings, 39 starts, and 24 complete throws. He was awarded the AL Cy Young and MVP honors that year, becoming the youngest MVP in the 20th Century at just 22 years old.

“There are a few players with a more decorated career than Vida Blue. He was a three-time champion, an MVP, a six-time All-Star, a Cy Young Award winner, and Oakland A’s Hall of Famer. Vida will always be a franchise legend and a friend. We send our deepest condolences to his family and friends during this arduous time,” his former team Oakland Athletics said in an official statement.
