Jemile Weeks exploded on the baseball scene in 2011, winning the MLB Rookie of the Month Award during his first month in the bigs. He quickly became a fan favorite. However, despite flashes of greatness from time to time, he didn’t produce much thereafter. By the end of 2012 he was back in the minors where he spent most of 2013.
The A’s parted ways with him this past week by trading him to Baltimore. In exchange the A’s received closer Jim Johnson who will hopefully do as good or better than departing free agent Grant Balfour.

Today’s photo has nothing to do with the subject line (other than the fact that the A’s were involved), but that is only because I didn’t have a camera when I went to the A’s game on October 15, 1981 and Krazy George started the first wave. I was only 12 years old at the time, but I remember that game well.
