John Trinidad is a name most don’t know, but if listened to A’s Radio over the years, you heard us mention “JT” often. Our longtime studio producer oassed away this week. All of us were better because of him, lots of laughs and long nights of baseball. He is missed dearly
Vida represented a grand time in the history of the A’s franchise. Accomplished things on the mound that may never be duplicated. A wonderful, warm human being who had time for everyone who wanted to say they met him. The Bay Area lost one of their greatest.
All season you heard me talk about the anticipation about becoming a grandparent. Well, 10/22 Callum Joseph Hudgins came into the world healthy and Veronica and I can’t be more excited. Love to his parents, Olivia and Troy Hudgins.
Thanks again for coming along for the ride this season. This hard working group helped make A’s Radio and
@athleticscast24
a success in 2023 bringing stories and conversation and highlights all year.
Shea Ryan Langeliers was 4-4 tonight . His dad Steve named him after Shea Stadium (born in 69) and Nolan Ryan (dad’s favorite player )..Steve graduated HS in 86 (WS win for NYM). Can’t make this stuff up
Since some of you have asked to hear the opening remarks from our Friday broadcast here in Detroit, we are efforting to make that happen. Apparently, the MLB app started our broadcast after I opened the broadcast.
A lot of talk about my good friend
@MilwaukeeMauler
and his passion for the A’s. This should confirm that he one of the biggest fans anywhere. His fine work and privileged to own a copy
A’s radio PxP man Vince Cotroneo has been calling baseball for over 3 decades, working his way to the big leagues, where he’s been the last 20+ years. Excellent advice on what you need to focus on to be your best. For wisdom like this and more, check out

He has been gloating all weekend. Our first time as opponents in a regular season series.
Among many great Stephen memories, catching a CG with Sonny Gray in 2015 in Cleveland then heading to Cincy after the game with Sonny as first time all stars for Oakland
Flying solo tonight on A’s radio and I’ll be joined by pitchers Alex Wood and Scott Alexander in the booth. I’ll explain how much easier the game is from upstairs plus
@MartinJGallegos
will give us an in game View From The Pressbox special appearance. Should be fun!
Tonight’s Greatest Moment in Oakland History is the MLB play of the year in 2018 by Ramon Laureano. He provides new information not heard before about the catch and throw.
What a pleasure to meet Gianmarco Fanaone, GM of Team Italy in the WBC. Became an A’s fan in 2006 club. Introduced him to Mark Kotsay and he presented him with a Team Italy hat! Mike Piazza is heavily involved with the team. Thanks to
@jonmorosi
for the introduction!
Once again, my wife wins the day and anniversary! As a Brooklyn born, son of a Brooklyn Dodger dad,
@DorisKGoodwin
has long been a favorite and honored that she signed her latest book. Thanks Doris!
By the way, further enhancing the 2024 season for Brent Rooker…he got his 69th rbi last year in his 137th and last game of the season…in game 90 this year, with his 1st inning solo HR last night, he collected RBI number 70
To continue to show times have changed, last year by 4/28 Oakland allowed 10 or more runs 11 times! Only twice so far in 2024..win
#11
last year was on 5/29 vs Atlanta after an 11 game losing streak (last year already had 5 losing streaks of 5 losses or more ZERO so far this yr
An incredible experience this morning at the Roberto Clemente Museum. Many thanks to Executive Director Duane Rieder for the mind blowing tour. When you’re in Pittsburgh—this is must see
Gerry Fraley was a baseball writer’s writer. Old school in every way, shape and form. His way of keeping his own daily statistics in notebooks were legendary . Thankful we were friends. All the best to the Fraley boys as Gerry receives the HOF award for writing excellence
Mike Trout and Bryce Harper’s 1st full season in MLB was 2012..both are generational talents…both are multiple MVP’s but October is the difference…and Harper’s 14 postseason HR’s (and counting) on it’s biggest stage wins while LAA can’t get Trout there since 2014
Reason number 672 on why 2024 has been a much better year so far for the Athletics….since a Colton Cowser RBI double on 4/28, the pitching has held the opposition (Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Miami) to 0 for last 27 with runners in scoring position….that’s 0-27.
Tonight’s on A’s Cast Live begins our journey of the greatest moments in Oakland A’s history..some at the Coliseum, some on the road…every Tuesday and Friday…hope you enjoy…
Reason number 40550403 that’s this is a different year…today the A’s try for the their 7th series win…which they didn’t accomplish until July 17-19 vs Boston last year
