In a Monday email nobody asked for, Oakland A’s owner John Fisher managed to misspell one of the most memorable moments in franchise history.
The typo happened just three paragraphs into the solipsistic letter to the fans, where, after reminiscing about Charlie Finley and his mule Charlie-O, Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers, Billy King, and Rickey Henderson, he brought up “the 1989 Loma Preita earthquake in Game 3 of the Bay Bridge Series.”
Beyond the basic “I before E except after C” rule of grammar that was ignored here, it’s rather fitting that Fisher got a detail like that wrong.
