Sometimes I imagine my younger self coming to work with me, looking at everything we’ve created together. I can see him smiling so big, and it fills me with joy.

I was an A's fan because of grandma.
I spent a fair amount of time at grandma's house there in San Leandro. Grandma always had the game on TV. It seems like yesterday but also so long ago.
I have many fond memories of Ricky Henderson stealing bases. And Billy Martin kicking dirt on umps; grandma got a kick out of that. ;-)

Oh, and there was that time I was living in Davis, making pizza for my friends in preparation for watching the World Series, and mother nature had other plans. From the amplitude and frequency of the wave in the earth passing underneath my legs I knew the direction and could surmise the magnitude and distance of that quake. I called grandma right away at her condo in San Ramon; she was fine. Within minutes the phone lines were jammed and no furter calls were possible.

Anyway…
It's about a wrap for the Oakland Athletics at the Coliseum.
Thanks for the memories.

This made me cry and it's hard to listen to, but please do.
This sort of thing becomes part of my kid's #homeschool #history curriculum.

Always remember. Even when you feel even a "little down" with these MAGA motherfucker revisionists. This is what it was, and it is what a lot of them want it to be again.

Reggie remembering from the heart, telling it like it was, overwhelming this baseball telecast.
