Growing up in the East Bay, I was a h u g e A's fan from Charlie O through the LaRussa years. Loved watching Ricky play. Way, way too young.

Me too. When I was a kid in the early 80s, the Rickey Henderson baseball card was massively coveted in my neighborhood in Fremont. His return in 1989 was incredible. I cut school a couple of times that year as a high school senior to take BART up to the Coliseum for cheap weekday day games in the bleachers (am I remembering correctly that the tickets were just $3?) To me, Rickey was always a bigger draw than the Bash Brothers.
