As a child, John Sax was obsessed with flying. He died when the aircraft he was co-piloting malfunctioned and crashed in 2022. Now, one-time Yankee and Dodger Steve Sax alternates between tears and laughter on his mission to honor the life of his son. ✍️ @BrownieAthletic
This news sucks but also what a strange thing to sponsor
The A’s offense is probably even more disappointing than expected and yet they are exceeding expectations — once again showing that if you can pitch even a little, you’ve got a chance.

A $4.6 billion stadium will never be built but the most unrealistic thing in that Bears video is that there is more than one sunny day a year in Chicago.

@melissalockard The saves by Miller vs. Yankees are becoming almost legendary. We’ll, not quite, but fun to watch !😉
@LadyOaklandFan @QondiNtini Mason Miller! A 4-out save, having come into the game in the bottom of the 8th. Last out was a pop fly to right by Aaron Judge. Judge’s pay is $40M. The MLB-lowest team payroll for the A’s is just a little over $47M. The Yankees, of course, have the highest payroll in the MLB.

@melissalockard I think that's a good question. It makes me think teams may look differently at arms that haven't peaked in terms of physical & velocity development. I think we've seen a little of that in the last few drafts already.
@melissalockard Yeah I kind of dreamed of being an old retired guy with a hat covered in collectible pins enjoying Wednesday afternoon games in Oakland :(
@melissalockard Mine, too. I had started going to all weekday day games in my retirement. The first one felt glorious. Thanks Fisher, Kaval and @MLB for spoiling it.
@melissalockard Oh how hard it must be to be a Chisox fan these days. Wait, I'm an A's fan. I wanna be his friend.
@melissalockard My cousin and I were at an A's game in Seattle a few years ago and got to to talking to these retired ladies in front of us. They'd left their husbands at home to go on another girls' baseball trip. We were like, "This needs to be us in 30 years." Now we just hate MLB. 😪
@melissalockard So same. It was all I thought about. Travelling around, following my team. It’s all so crushing
@melissalockard Same here Melissa :( until John Fisher and @DaveKaval took any plans of that happening.
@melissalockard Ain't that the truth! And on days I wasn't there, I would be sitting in the backyard listening to day games on the radio while sipping my lemonade and eating home grilled miller colossal dogs. 😭
