Thanks again to my friend Walter for allowing me to share these. Forget the URL, thought I would just post them all right here. The one thing worth mentioning is how radical those A's uniforms were considered back then.

Would love to hear which players are "groovy" in the eyes of the AN girls.

I need to research this, but that might be the Opening Day lineup from '68, the A's first year in Oakland!

 And if that's the case, here's a pitch from that game. (Starter Lew Krause was right-handed.)

A's first manager in Oakland, Bob Kennedy.

Bob Locker pitched for the A's from 1970-72.

Dagoberto "Campy" Campaneris was the starting shortstop for  the World Champion A's 1972-74.

Hall-of-Famer Casey Stengel managed the Oakland Oaks to the Pacific Coast League title in 1948.

The balding guy in the center is owner Charles Oscar Finley, the architect of the first A's dynasty.

And here's Charlie O., the mule. Sometimes it was hard to tell who was the bigger ass.

I can't tell what "Day" this. Could be "Hot Pants" with all the different colors down there.

Curt Blefary played 58 games in Green-and-Gold (1971-72).

Dick Green, second baseman for three World Series champions, was more than just a glove.

Hall-of-Famer Dick Williams led the A's to Series triumphs in 1972-73.

True story: A's fans once mistook my Uncle Paul for Diego Segui. He signed autographs for an hour.

Don Mincher played for the 1970-71 A's, was traded, then came back in time for a ring in '72.

One of three Alou brothers to play for the A's, Felipe was in Oakland for the 1970 season (and two games in '71).

Gene Tenace shocked Cincinnati with an MVP performance in the 1972 World Series.

Jim Roland pitched for the A's from 1969-72.

Here are two shades of Joe Rudi, starting left-fielder of three World Champions.

Mike Epstein manned first-base for the 1972 World Champion A's.

Mike Hegan also played some first for the A's from 1971-73. 

Paul Lindblad had two different stints in Oakland, including Series-winning years 1972-73.

Phil Roof was the starting catcher in the A's very first game in Oakland.

Rick Monday played center-field for the A's from 1966-1971.

Rollie Fingers, pre-handlebar mustache, and MVP of the 1974 World Series.

Captain Sal Bando played third base for the A's from 1966-76.

Future A's manager Tony La Russa was a utility player in Oakland 1968-71.

Vida Blue won both the MVP and Cy Young Award in 1971.

 Bonus points if you can name this Oakland Athletic. I can't.

And one for the guys: bring back Hot Pants Day, damn it!

Enjoy!
