Bert “Campy” Campaneris Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame plaque in SFO
Today’s photo comes from a trip that had me passing though the San Francisco Airport in 2014. Campy was a legend in my 7 and 8-year old mind. With all of the Cuban baseball talk of late, and President Obama’s current trip to Cuba, I thought today’s photo was timely.
Mike Gallego is no longer with the A’s
Two weeks until opening day. Hopefully the A’s do better this year. Last year they fired Gallego in August, the third base coach at the time, after he sent in a bunch of runners who got thrown out at the plate.

Forty-seven years ago things were being born in the East Bay.
(Oakland, California)
After a fabulous dinner of BBQ at Everett & Jones Barbeque, we headed over to the waterfront at Jack London Square to enjoy the sunset. I’m not sure if this is the Lady Washington (or maybe the Hawaiian Chieftain?), but some tall ship was forming the perfect foreground for the night’s sunset last Thursday.

Derek Norris formerly of the Oakland A’s
In one month and one day (4/5/15) the 2015 regular season for Major League Baseball will begin. I’m not as excited as I was last year. I really loved the A’s team for the first half of 2014, before Billy Beane got greedy and thought trading away the future and favorites like Yoenis Céspedes would make the A’s better for the stretch run of 2014. It didn’t; in fact it made the team much worse. Then, in the off season, he got rid of much of what was left so we no longer have Norris, Brandon Moss, or Josh Donaldson. Hopefully 2015 isn’t a complete disaster for my A’s.
