Born and raised in Oakland. After living 18 years in Oakland I began my undergraduate studies at the University of Washington where I am to this day.
I always wear my A's gear over any Husky gear. Unless its a home football game...
The picture above was taken when the A's clinched the AL West in 2006 with a win over the Mariners at Safeco.. Jay Payton and Kielty both gave me a thumbs up after wishing them congrats from center field!
It will be very unlikely that I will live in the Bay Area any time soon due to being in the Air Force but wherever they send me, as long as I can get MLB extra innings I'll be happy!
a fan of
Oakland Athletics
Washington Huskies
San Jose Sharks
