Gary Huckabay, A's fan and Baseball Prospectus raconteur, on the kind of person who wears caps with the colors of both the A's and Giants, offered for your perusal as the two local teams prepare to take each other on:Posted by Dr. Frank at June 21, 2003 06:25 PM | TrackBack"Those are David Koresh rejects who should be dragged from their '82 Dodge Colts and savagely beaten into a persistent vegetative state."
recommend A's fans read "Moneyball" by Mike Lewis. Same dude who wrote "Liars Poker" about the million dollar game of comparing dollar bill serial numbers and other weird stuff at junk bond haven, Salomon Bros. "Moneyball" is the not as dry as you'd think story of Billy Beane and the new computerized baseball scouting coup that led the (impoverished at $40 mil)A's to equal the payroll might of the Yanks. just a tip for the A's baseball minded.
