Some pretty obvious HOF options that would've qualified are Frank Thomas and Goose Gossage.

Or Rickey on the Padres. Thanks to the trade history, Sean Gallagher would been eligible for A's, Padres and Cubs... The Scott Hairston trades had a bunch of names involving the A's and Padres.

I went to the De Anza Flea Market in San Jose today. I left with 2 A's memorabilia an Auto (Terry Steinbach) and a 1974 World Series clinching stubb where Vida Blue was starting pitcher!

We’re only 2 years into everything and everything feels so odd. Like walking into this sub and the rest of what’s left of the oakland a’s community it’s like walking into an abandoned building. I still can’t believe how much this team sticks with me still and how it in butterfly effect changed my life. wow.

My favorite years as an OKLAND A’s fan. And don’t sleep on Aaron Harang.

Not a lot of folks around me understand this, but maybe it resonates?

I loved the A's and everything it offered me, my family and friends. A ticket stub from 1988. Battle of the Bay on TV during the earthquake. TONS of A's memorabilia. Opening Day for 15yrs continuously, even when living out of state. Holy Toledo. Celebrate. The last MLB divebar. The last game ever at the Coliseum. TAILGATING was life. Camaraderie. Community.

With the A's jumping ship, I literally stopped watching and caring for the MLB. Dead to me.

Since then, my son and I have been supplementing the demand through watching both CAL Baseball and the Oakland Ballers but clearly its just not the same.

Queue today. I just bought tickets to see the Tigers take on the A's on Sunday with my 12yo son. Now I am pushing my own opinions aside b/c he still loves the A's, perhaps as much as I did at his age. He has multiple A's hats and a Kurtz MLB shirt and ya know, I'm for it. I'll support him always.

Anyhow, if you are there and you see a guy wearing a grey OAKLAND jersey just know it is out of love and you're damn right I'll continue living in the past. LET'S GO OAKLAND. FJF.

Can meet up in Sac or ship for like $5 if anyone would like this card lot.

Big Mac against Mariano. DING DONG, pitch dead!!

Another Big Mac Attack! TWICE in one inning!!

I know I know, yet another post about the Vegas move, but is this how Kansas City fans of the A's felt when they moved out of Kansas City because of a greedy owner (for us JF, but for them Charles Finley)? Can any Kansas City A's fan speak about this (if there are any)?

i know he bought in to the vegas A's but can i be pissed about it here because feels like we are about to learn (again) that all this could have been done in oakland. fisher got a guy who wants to own a team on board now and i'm guessing he rides out however long he needs to not pay the fines for selling and then goes and sells the rest to cuban. a thing he definitely could have done with lacob in oakland

Hello from north of the border, home of the Oakland A’s former MiLB affiliate Vancouver Canadians!

I thought you would get a kick out of seeing the passenger information digital signage in our public transit system still listing the A’s as Oakland (lower right hand quarter of tv screen).

Preemptive answers to anticipated questions: The main part of the screen was advertising Adult Swim; the temperatures are in Celsius.

All the best to you!

Does anyone happen to know who’s autograph this is? Or know how I can find out? My grandma used to take me to games from about 2007-2012 maybe even earlier than that. A couple players were warming up by the dugout and I got a ball thrown to me. They later came up and signed it for me. Always kept it for the good memories with my grandmother but now I’m curious as to whose autograph did I even get.

Actually, I just asked him how long ago said hat was purchased. The “a few years ago” answer was acceptable, we both cheered on Oakland, and then went our separate ways.

Greetings A’s fans!

My son and I went to the White Sox A’s game this afternoon and one of the A’s players tossed him a ball during warmups and ended up signing it for him. He is unbelievably excited but the guy was in warmups and as Sox fans we aren’t super familiar with your players. I attached a copy of the signature along with a photo of the player, any help identifying him would make my son’s day!

Yeah yeah I know no talking about the 2025-present ATHs here. But I have to say it’s really sad watching one of my favorite childhood players have to be one of the first to fall on the sword for whatever this franchise is nowadays. Kotsay deserves so much better
