ARLINGTON -- A's third baseman Ryon Healy was quick to congratulate Double-A Midland's coaching staff after the RockHounds clinched their third consecutive Texas League championship on Friday night.
Healy, one of three players on the A's roster who began the season with Midland, had another message for them: "I do expect my ring still."
"They responded, 'Don't worry, the word's already been passed along, keep doing your thing.'" Healy said, smiling.
Healy and pitchers Daniel Mengden and Raul Alcantara will indeed get rings, having had a hand in helping Midland achieve a historic feat by becoming the first team in 91 years to win three straight Texas League championships.
