Baseball Announcer Steve Klauke Dies After Getting Hit by Pickup Truck


Beloved baseball announcer Steve Klauke died after being hit by a pickup truck less than one year after he announced his retirement

Klauke, who spent 29 years broadcasting games for the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees, was hit while crossing a street on Monday, June 10, according to Sandy City Police Department Lieutenant Dean Carriger. Oliver was traveling home from a Caribbean vacation with his two daughters — Madita and Annik, whom he shared with wife Jessica Klepser — on January 4. In the team’s first game after Klauke’s death on Tuesday night, Bees right fielder Jason Martin hit a two-run home run in the top of the first inning.
