Elephant Rumblings: A’s outslugged in Japan opener; extension day for MLB

Fernando Rodney is the oldest player on an Opening Day roster in Oakland history at the age of 42 years, 2 days…according to @EliasSports, he is the oldest on an A’s Opening Day roster since Bobo Newsom of the Philadelphia A’s in 1953 (45 years, 246 days).

When I was 12, I wanted to be an A’s beat reporter. At 22, it happened.

Now, after nine great years, I’m stepping away.
