Now that my Golden Bears have been dispatched from the NCAA Tournament, I am very eager for the baseball season to begin. Suddenly, with free time on my hands, I am catching up on my reading. I have found a jewel of a book that I would heartily recommend to all A’s fans. Susan Slusser’s “100 Things A’s fans Should Know & Do Before They Die” is a tremendous book about the A’s through history. Slusser has been covering the A’s since 1999. She is extremely knowledgeable about baseball lore, but even better, Slusser is a great story teller.
