The A’s witnessed the emergence of Stephen Vogt in the 2013 ALDS against the Tigers. His walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game Two was pure magic.
Since then, Vogt has become a fan favorite at the Coliseum. Chants of “We Believe In Stephen Vogt,” can be heard throughout the cavernous home of the A’s whenever Vogt steps up to the plate.
Vogt has made two All-Star Game appearances (’15 & ’16) and has provided veteran leadership in a clubhouse that has struggled to find chemistry. Vogt’s leadership is a quality that has helped make him one of the true ambassadors for the franchise.
