While there have been a number of fine books capturing in great detail specific facets of the Oakland Athletics, such as Ken Korach's Holy Toledo or Ron Bergman's Mustache Gang, what there has not been, until now, is one place that brings the fantastic stories stemming from the 115-year history of the Athletics into a nifty 320-page book. That book is 100 Things A's Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, written by San Francisco Chronicle A's beat writer and former president of the Baseball Writers Association of America Susan Slusser.
