MESA, Ariz. — When it comes to representing Oakland with pride, you won’t find two better examples than A’s legends Dave Stewart and Rickey Henderson.
Before the A’s took part in their first full-squad workout of the spring on Monday, Stewart and Henderson held court inside the clubhouse to speak with the entire roster.
Both Oakland natives, Stewart and Henderson went from playing on the same Oakland Little League team to winning championships together with the green and gold. They made it a point to be proud of their city, and now they are trying to pass along that pride to the upcoming crop of Oakland A’s.
