I've enjoyed my time in the American League, the fans of Southern California and other friendships.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.
I've had a good time here in baseball. I love baseball. That's why I'm still around.
The Oakland A's, I loved all my teammates there. I loved all the coaches. They gave me the opportunity to play in the big leagues. And for that, I thank them. I mean it was a dream come true for me.
I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.
I played in three countries. I played in two World Series. But I never found anything to match the joy and the laughter those years with the Eagles brought me. The city and county loved us.
I grew up in LA. I sort of watched the Raiders play and that sort of thing.
I grew up in Orange County, without a team. I never affiliated myself with the Chargers, south of me, or the Raiders, north of me. I've always followed the Dallas Cowboys. I've been a huge fan since the early '90s.
I'm a huge fan of San Francisco. And I was out here for a couple years in the mid-'90s when I was a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford.
I love watching American League games, you know what I mean?
We have always had great and loyal fans in Oakland.
