Mike Aldrete’s career has come full circle as he found his way to the A’s as the first and third base coach. Before that, he had time on both Bay Area teams.
The utility player was drafted by the Giants in the 7th round of the 1983 MLB Draft out of Stanford and spent three seasons there hitting .285 with 274 hits in 1,111 plate appearances.
Before he was outside of the foul lines for the A’s, he was playing multiple positions with the team from 1993-95.
Pitcher Vida Blue spent the majority of his career with the A’s.
