[Night Hides Not]

Growing up in the East Bay, the A's were my team, after the Giants traded away Willie Mays to the Mets. Their 72-74 teams were among the greatest in history, even if their individual stats were hardly noteworthy. They just knew how to win.

Great pitching, timely hitting, and excellent defense was the equation to their success.

RIP, Vida.

In the early 70s I saw Joe Rudi throw a ball on a line from the LF warming track to 3rd base at old Comiskey. Until then I didn’t know that he had a particularly strong arm.
