    Name that Athletic

    The A's haven't been playing hot baseball as of late, so I thought I'd start a little game to lighten peoples spirits, as well as challenge your knowledge on the history of the A's. This is a game that we played at another forum that I was a part of. I (or any of you participating) will post a pic of an Athletic, past or present, from Oakland to KC to Phillie, and y'all can try and guess who it is, if you wish, Click on the link to begin.



    Any guesses?

    I'd have to say Barry Zito, as well. The kid's from San Diego County.

    Yup. That was Mr. Zito, at about 10 years of age. How about this?

    Re: Name that Athletic

    Well he played for California (Angels), Cleveland, Seatle, and Oakland, in that order. Was elected to the 1979 ASG, and in that year hit .361 with 100 ribbies. That help any? Probably not...
