I know it is almost time for the baseball season to begin when the A's hold their annual Fan Fest. For the second straight year, the A's held Fan Fest at Oakland's Jack London Square on a beautiful day:

| Stomper with Rickey, Eck and Rollie |
It is the A's 50th anniversary of being in Oakland:
 |
| Equipment Manager Steve Vucinich who started out as a ball boy in 1968, the first year of the team being in Oakland and has been the A's Equipment Manager since 1994. He is considered the A's Historian |
 |
| Pitcher Andrew Triggs |
 |
| Shortstop Marcus Semien pondering a question |
 |
| Ex-pitcher Dallas Braden (in cap and beard) and outfielder Mark Canha |
 |
| Outfielder Dustin Fowler |
 |
| Ex All-Star catcher Terry Steinbach |
 |
| Third Baseman Matt Chapman |
 |
| The wonderful radio voice of the A's Ken Korach |

Patrick,
ReplyDeleteWOW, baseball season again so soon?! Time really flies by! Great, fun photo shoot and share! Here's to America's favorite pastime! Thanks for joining my WW linky party, my friend!
What a cool opportunity! It looks like such a fun time!
ReplyDeleteAs an Aussie, baseball and the culture around that is something unknown to me - yet fascinating because of that. Thanks for the peek into fanfest #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jo Tracey - an Aussie so baseball and all that is not a culture we're familiar with. It all looks like loads of fun though! :-) #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteThis looks like SO MUCH FUN! And hello, that burger. Yum.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! You have some great pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining #WanderingWednesday with Confessions of Parenting! :)
Looks like a lot of fun. Reminds me of the fun when we go to the Kids Day at the Bills games. Thanks for stopping by at Tots and Me
ReplyDeleteIt's all very foreign to me - the fanfare and celebration. I guess we do that for other sports here in Australia (rugby league and cricket and so forth!).
ReplyDeleteI love the sense of community sport can sometimes offer though... bringing people together! #teamlovinlife
A fun post, very colorful!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! My son would have been in total heaven as he is a huge sports fan!
ReplyDeleteThere is never a dull moment in Oakland and I'm happy that we get to experience it through your photos. Thanks a bunch and I hope you join us again next week at Celebrate Your Story.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of baseball but my husband and daughter are and I love going to games because they are fun and so family friendly,
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely here. Great pictures, I enjoy seeing them. You get to see so many lovely places :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to The Wednesday Blog Hop. Hope you can join me tomorrow :)
