A note from Ken Korach

For those of you who participated in the "Winning For The Community" charity drive, you've probably already received a letter from Detra Paige, the A's Director of Community Relations, with a few words of thanks and their Tax ID number for tax filing purposes.

In today's mail was a hand-written thank you card from Ken Korach, which I think is an extra, nice touch. At first I thought it was a Christmas card the A's were sending out, then I saw what it really was.

That he took the time to write a quick note to each person who donated says a lot about him, I think. I'm glad I decided to participate and so should everyone else who joined in.

If you're wondering what happens if you DON'T give,

in today’s mail I got a card from Vince Cotroneo that said, “Fuck you!” It was hand-written, though, which I thought was a nice touch.

I didn't think Vince was ever that concise.

Class acts by them both, though.

Yeah but,

you could tell he wrote it without much passion.

I got a card from Glen Kuiper.

“Merry… Merry… if it’s late December it’s Merry Christmas… let me check the calendar… Merry Christmas! Christmas? Or Hanukkah? Seasons Greetings!”

Ray: "How fun is it to be up here playing in the Big Leagues?"
Gio: "It's *SUPER* fun!!!"

Better than the one I got from the Giants:

“Merry X-Mas, meat. God almighty I’m cool! See how I use those expressions and x people out and stuff? I threw a good curve ball 112 years ago. Do you like my hair?”
