Oakland A’s FanFest Open Thread!

Oakland A’s FanFest is coming! The big day is tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 28, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Jack London Square.

Two key facts:

1. FanFest is NOT AT THE COLISEUM this year. It’s at Jack London Square. Make sure you go to the right place!
2. FanFest is free this year. ZERO DOLLARS. The perks of a last-place team.

As I understand it, Rosales was still in San Diego on Wednesday but started sprinting north the moment he heard about his new contract and should arrive by Saturday morning (citation needed).

Finally, two images you absolutely must see. First, we have Sean Manaea playing with dogs:

Also, Bruce Maxwell’s hair leveled up over the offseason.
