Hi Athletics Nation. As a bit of personal therapy, I wrote a song about the coliseum, and our beloved A's. I thought maybe some folks here might appreciate it.
A fun & informative look at Jim "Mudcat" Grant’s 1970 & 1971 seasons spent with the A’s
He never badmouthed or dissed the team but he opens up A LOT and pulls no punches
An article about the great Satchel Paige making a relief appearance for the 1965 KC A’s
I don't know how many more hurdles we have to pass for a new Oakland stadium, but one less is a good thing? I think?
I enjoyed reading this article, it brought back memories from the 2000 & 2002 runs. Tim Hudson is a lot stronger Hall of Fame candidate than people realize. It’s a bummer the ballot is still so crowded though. I’d vote for Huddy in a heartbeat

Shooty Babitt's Wikipedia page is full of inaccuracies but the most interesting (clever?) thing in it is a line about him starring in the animated feature Who Framed Shooty Babitt. The reference link literally goes to the IMDb page for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Oakland native and lifelong A's fan Matt Vasgersian is taking over play-by-play duties for Angels broadcasts this year on Bally Sports West. A missed opportunity for the Athletics?
Came across this article which compares Tim Hudson to Mark Buehrle, Mike Mussina, CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte & few others in a variety of categories. I’ll be interested to see how Huddy does in Hall of Fame voting. I doubt he’ll come close to election on the first ballot but I think he belongs in the Hall.
