I started following the A's in 78, it was fun but 79 was rough and the team looked like they were out the door to Denver but then Walter Haas bought the team and brought in Billy Martin. The whole fanbase was excited that we were getting Marrin to coach. I went to opening night with my dad and remember how excited the crowd was, a new era of A's baseball and Haas brought us so many great memories in the years to come. I remember driving down Hegenberger in the morning watching Tony Larusa taking a jog down the street and back into the coliseum. Thank you Mr. Haas.😊
