Daric Barton?

Right!!! Daric Barton is now a first basemen because of the surplus of cathcers in the A's system. I thought it would take longer to get this one.

Funny...

I got that picture from a friend of mine who works for the local AAA team. I also have a ton of candids of Zito eating at Denny's, etc. Those were posted on his now defunct myspace page.

Zito75

07-05-2009, 02:11 PM

Been a while since we played this game... So... Anyone want to take a whack at this one???

Name the former A!

mlazar

07-05-2009, 02:48 PM

that's either Ron Gardenhire, but I don't think he played for the A's

it could be Matt Stairs, but I don't think he played for the Braves

I'll go with Charlie Daniels before he grew a full beard and wrote " the Devil went down to Georgia"....I'm not sure he played for the A's but I think he was in a concert once after the fireworks show...:happy:

You are correct. Helpher, a very competent pro, didn't last long. Monte Moore was the only long term Finley employee, as I recall.
Charles O. Finley,[along with the rest of the good and bad] was the builder of the last really true dynasty, his way in every way. Gotta admire that. Charley for the Hall? Maybe I'll start a thread.

The Hammer, of course, a man who gives big bucks to baseball programs for kids, in northern California.
Aside, I'll be out there tomorrow to see get some sun, and hoist one in the memory of Alameda's Bill Rigney, a great baseball front office exec. with the A's after the Giants messed him over, yet again, as they did with Hank Sauer.
