I'm old enough to remember the A's winning the World Series in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, Joe Rudi... they had great teams.

What memories!

They sure did. In 1971, when the A’s were in their ascendency, I attended a game that July against the California Angels. Vida Blue was on the mound and Rudy May started for the Angels. Blue went 11 innings and struck out 18, while May went 10 and fanned 11. The A’s finally won in the bottom of the 20th inning when Angel Mangual doubled in Curt Blefary. It was truly a classic.

I attended a couple of A's games in the early 70's when I was 8. In those days it was much less expensive but we still have to set aside some money for the occasional game. The days of the average family attending and are long gone and so are the opportunities for the average kid to have life long memories of attending a pro baseball game.

And I remember sneaking portable radios into grade school, with an ear piece wire running up the shirt sleeve.

Just don’t watch baseball anymore.
