Is it just me, or does this look like the A's fan sell logo? Funny to use that in a video about the Vegas Sphere not being super successful. They also clip Brodie in it.

Wearing my 1995 Mariners Joey Cora shirt to watch the playoffs. Didn't realize he is the 3rd base coach for Detroit until just now. 🤣

Some news: I'm now on-staff as a news reporter for The Sacramento Bee. It's been a fun first few weeks, covering everything from "One Battle After Another" to Dorothea Puente. I even got to talk briefly with Steve Sax yesterday about "Homer at the Bat." www.sacbee.com/sports/mlb/a...

The day my heart officially broke over this situation. One last game with my dad after 30+ years of attending games together.
9-26-24…a day that will live in the hearts & minds of Oakland A’s fans forever.
Too often in 2024 we turned to the opposing broadcast for commentary on the final season. Over on our IG we posted all the clips from that final game.
