Powerfully, she lifted the powerful globe of power alight, and powerfully mouthed the powerful magic words of power. A powerful rumble shook the ground, and travelled powerfully many miles through the Earth, all the way to Dave Kingman’s house, where a crack suddenly formed in between kitchen tiles as he watched with mouth powerfully agape while dropping his spoon into his cereal bowl as a swarm of thousands of vermin powered themselves up from the crack and began to use their powerful jaws to gnaw away at exposed table and chair legs, the butcher block, and the legs of Mr. Kingman himself. Kong powerfully thrust himself up to escape the rat stampede, and began to powerfully step on the necks and torsos of the ranks of the horde. However, as the ranks of the dead rats rose, a chorus of ghostly disembodied voices began to chant, “SUUUUUUSSSSSAAAAAANNNNN! SUUUUUUSSSSSAAAAAANNNNN!”. Back in her secret mountain cave hideout, Susan laughed and laughed and powerfully laughed, and knew that her white mouse familiar would soon return with the box score from Dave Kingman’s powerfully untimely demise.

Hi

Here are a few other A’s books, that might meet your criteria.

Away Games, the life and times of a Latin Ball player by Marcos Breton and Jose Luis Villegas. Interesting book that follows Miguel Tejada and others to the majors, mostly Tejada. A’s player on cover.

The Black Aces, Baseball’s Only African -American 20 game winners by Jim Mudcat Grant. The book is brocken up into a dozen chapters, one each for pitchers. So Norris, Blue and Stewart get chapters and Downing was with the A’s a short time and I think Willis grew up in Oakland. All 12 on cover

Hope this helps

I found another one…

Vida by Richard Deming, 173 page paperback that came out in 1972 by Lancer Publ. Funny that the Vida, his own story came out the same year

Also, that book with Carney/Rickey/Jose after a home run…what is that one? I remember having it as a kid, but don’t remember what was inside.
