14 years as an Oakland A. 25 years of service to MLB & a lifetime of commitment to his family & friends & his city of Oakland. If you grew up in the Bay in the 80’s/90’s you had the poster, you had the batting gloves you had the glasses, you WERE Rickey. Rickey Could do it all. The game could be 1-0 after the first pitch. The game could be 1-0 without a ball in play in the first inning. The charisma, competitiveness, the class, the sense of community. My heart breaks for his family & his brothers in this game.
We’re gonna miss ya Rickey. Every damn day. Thank you for your years of friendship & tutelage. Thank you for making everyone you came across feel like a Hall of Famer.
I know you already got a spot picked out where the fish never quit bitting. I hope the stringer is full & You’ve got a full belly on first pitch fastballs. Give Foss a hug for me. If anybody can talk the big guy upstairs into seeing why stealing ain’t so bad it’s you.
I love you Rickey. Rest easy, sir.
@lindsayafton13 Tbh it doesn’t surprise me. When she ran in the 2020 primaries she received 4% of the Dem vote. This is precisely why Biden never should have run initially so we could see who was the most electable candidate
Takes like this are funny to me because they completely disregard individual players and their contributions to winning. How much are guys like Edman and Kiké being paid? Not a Dodgers fan but mad respect for what the org is still doing for Andrew Toles.
I genuinely couldn't care less about a Yankees-Dodgers World Series. It's always better with an underdog.
Watching two teams that outspend everyone isn't interesting.
@DALLASBRADEN209 listening to you try and identify anime cleats on the M’s pitcher was my highlight of the game tonight. The design on them is from the Demon Slayer anime series I believe fyi!
