1. They should make a movie about this

2. Scottie H. Picking machine.

3. How can you not be romantic about baseball?

4. Tell ’em, Wash

5. A watched a movie one time and it told me this was pretty much the only player on the As that year.

6. Jason Grimsley, one of the big revealers of the Steroid Era. What an infamous face to be the guy giving up that bomb.

7. He gets on base

8. [deleted]

9. its only baseball, how hard can it be?

10. Bad enough I have to relive it when the movie is on. Worst Royals uniforms outside of the futuristic ones they did.

11. For the rest of my life, I’ll never stop feeling bad for Oakland baseball fans.

12. How did I only now just realize this was Dan Shulman on the call?

13. Something about that home run swing and the ball launching off the bat is just super satisfying.

14. He hit and home run and didn’t even know it

15. Tony Gwynn on the broadcast 😊

16. What do we love about Hatteberg? He gets on base.

17. So many great memories. I was painting a co-workers house listening to it on the radio and lost my shit many times that game. Took a break and turned on the TV to watch the 9th. I was at the Coliseum for 3 of those 20 wins including the Tejada walkoff for #18. 😢

25. Man I loved that team. I remember the 2003 summer for a lot of reasons ( I know this was the year before) but that A’s team winning the AL west was one of em. RIP Oakland Baseball.

26. Dan Shulman. One of the best.

27. Wait til they see what Radke has in store for them tomorrow

28. I think that Hatteberg guy can play Star Lord if he can’t play first base.

29. Chris Pratteburg

30. That was actually Chris Pratt pretending to be Scott Hatteberg.

31. “The problem we’re trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there’s fifty feet of crap, and then there’s us.”

32. Oakland’s big three were so much better than people remember. Jim Abbott could count the number of times they got swept in a series with both hands.

33. That’s not Chris Pratt!?

34. Billy Koch and Jermaine Dye in the same video I’m getting dizzy

35. Look at how many people were in that stadium. Wow

36. and then the mighty rio grande cuts in

37. John Fisher took this environment and took a giant shit on it

38. I can’t watch this without the music from Moneyball coming to mind immediately.

39. Billy, this is OP. He’s a poster. He’s one of the most undervalued commenters in Reddit. His defect is his mom is like a doorknob, everyone’s had a turn.
