The Oakland A's had their opening night for the start of their 50th season in Oakland. It was an opening night worthy of celebration and fun:
And they brought back some of the great players of the past:
And an icon:
Harvey the Rabbit came back to bring out the balls as he did in the past |

The A's lost but I am so happy that the A's are playing again and have great hopes for their 2018 season.
Did this ever make me feel old. I was a baseball fan in my youth (I gave it up in the mid 70's) I saw Bert Campaneris play in the 1973 World Series at Shea Stadium along with my finance (now husband of 43 plus years). How time flies! (He was an amazing player, although my husband hasn't, and will never, forgive him for his performance in that Series, lol). The other thing I remember about that game was how cold it was. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go to games regularly- what an awesome treat to see it from your side!
