Whiteshoes40 beat me to the punch but here are my photos from the last home game of 2008. Enjoy!

Rickey was there...

Ichiro doing the old soft shoe...

Sean Gallagher pitched well today...

Ryan (For Jennifer)

The classic sign was there...

Travis Buck in action...

More Travis...

Greg Smith hangs with Dallas Braden in the Designated wounded area...

The keen eye of Jack Cust...

Travis feels betrayed by his bat...

Someone loves Bobby...

Brandon Morrow, started today and had a no hitter going...

More Buck (for those who like that sort of thing)...

See you next year Stomper...

Joe Rudi is looking for Ray Fosse's Man Love of Jason Kendall, HD and Dibbs...

Carlos sets himself...

Gallagher in action...

Travis approaches the plate...

And quickly strikes out...

Jerry Blevins was pretty good all year, but not today...

Raul Ibanez strikes out one too many times...

Brad Zeigler was a bright spot all season...

Called up from his couch, Donny Murphy gets into the game..

Cust sucks, then homers...

A's 5, Mariners 3

2008 wasn't the best year, but as the regular season comes to an end I will miss the ol' Green and Gold.

Well, your photos are better than mine x infinity... and you had better seats...

Thanks for posting. They’re beautiful pictures. Especially the ones of Ryan and Travis… splendid.

I have some pictures too, nowhere near as good and taken from the far reaches of the bleachers….but such as they are I will post them soon. I was glad you got the A’S LET’S DO THIS sign, which hasn’t been around on a regular basis this year but always looks great — just the right balance of homemade and carefully done.

Don't blame me, I voted for Bill King.

The Stomper photo is my favorite.

Yes, over Ryan and Travis.

Very nice. I’ll miss those hideous black jerseys this winter.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

Baggage claim.

Look for the person wheeling around some black luggage.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

I left her at home.

I thought you told me to come alone.

I'm here to talk about the past.

OK, I thought you said

You were looking for the person wheeling around some black luggage.

It’s early here.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Raider shirt behind Rickey

says “Commitment to Excellence”.

That’s silly.

Here’s Rickey 28 years ago (he’s on the right):

Great pics.

I was wondering what those letters said in that luxury box over in RF. I wonder if they’re somehow related to that “Bobby, you’re hot” girl in 215.
