Dear Bill King.
I can probably speak for most of us on AN by saying that WE MISS YOU. No game on tv? 'Holy Toledo', Bill will tell us what's going on on the radio side. The first season without you around got me watching more tv games and going to the ballpark for more home games.
Each one of us here on AN has a passion for the game, and for our Oakland A's. My passion for the Oakland A's is still there, but without you, Bill, things will never be the same. Life changes and we all move on, but without you there at the beginning of spring training to explain it all to me, to us, and give us comfort in the trying days that has the team moving from Oakland, well, I guess it's time we all grew up and figured it out on our own that change happens and it is often beyond our control.
I can tell you, Bill, we might not be doing a very good job of accepting change, I know I'm not, because we are wearing our passion and hearts for the Oakland Athletics on our sleeves, so we can certainly use some help in understanding that this is the way of baseball and life these days. None of us can second guess what you would think, but we sure know that whatever your thoughts about the move in 3 to 5 years, the important thing is you would tell us to remember the game first and foremost. You were there for me during the first week of the 1994 opening season when my dad passed away. I thank you for that...and thanks for all the memories...missing you lots the past few days especially.

I Listened To Fewer games Than Ever in 2006
But I miss Bill's voice and observations and stories and quips. Maybe next year it will be easier. A's baseball in 2006 just sounded empty on the radio without him.
