Ever since the Athletics were founded in 1901, the franchise has produced some of the most colorful personalities in the league. From Rube Waddell, a pitcher known for suddenly leaving the mound to chase fire trucks, to Connie Mack, a Hall of Fame manager who built three A’s dynasties, there are countless stories behind this legendary team.
Susan Slusser, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Oakland A’s beat writer, has compiled stories from the team’s beginnings in Philadelphia, their brief time in Kansas City and nearly 50 seasons in Oakland in 100 Things A’s Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die (Triumph Books, June 2015). Slusser not only dives into the history of the franchise, she also includes must-do activities that every die-hard fan should check off their bucket list. This is a compelling look at how the Oakland A’s have been thriving competitors despite their financial limitations. Highlights include:
An extensive and well-written look at the personalities, events and facts every fan should know, 100 Things A’s Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die is the perfect book for fans headed to the Coliseum this spring.
