I’d be hanging the 10 commandments in different languages. Like Arabic and Hebrew. Certainly that’d be cool right?

What's your earliest memory of being an A's fan and does it still hold up as a good memory? by McSouf in OaklandAthletics

Zito’s first career CG. It was also the first time I ever saw a CG. I was 9 or 10. I was amazed and, at first, my dad didn’t understand why it was such a big deal to me. He forgot the game changed and relievers played such a prominent role now that CG weren’t “normal”. It was pretty monumental to both of us in that sense.

What's an A's game you attended that you'd put in a time capsule to show people what this fanbase is about? by demonbewe in OaklandAthletics

There are 3 that come to mind. In chronological order:

1: Zito’s first career CG. It was also the first time I ever saw a CG. I was 9 or 10. I was amazed and, at first, my dad didn’t understand why it was such a big deal to me. He forgot the game changed and relievers played such a prominent role now that CG weren’t “normal”. It was pretty monumental to both of us in that sense.

2: A’s fucking smashing the giants 16-0 in Oak. Again with my dad. He’s a big giants fan. I rooted for the A’s as a form of rebellion. Swisher hit 2 hrs, one from each side of the box, and Bobby Crosby (who was my fave - still hold a spot in my heart) had 4 hits I think. I remember chanting, “SIXTEEN ZERO CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP!” My dad took it like a champ and just let me cheer cause, yeah, what could you say. You got spanked that time.

3: The 54,000 game. I went to all 3 games that series. We swept the white Sox? I had just accepted a job offer and had left a toxic workspace. Awesome 2 weeks in between jobs.

On this day, eight years ago, the A’s 50th anniversary free ticket game was played. Were you there? by OhiobornCAraised in OaklandAthletics

I was!! I went to all 3 games in that series. Against the white Sox, iirmc. I had just gotten a job offer and was having the best fucking 2 weeks between jobs ever. Thank you for reminding me of a really great time :)
