The 2020 MLB season is on hiatus during the coronavirus pandemic, so we’ve got some time to burn and a baseball void to fill. Fortunately, there are decades of Oakland A’s history to look back on, and even rerunball is better than no ball at all. Let’s reminisce!
Here’s the latest “this date in history” from A’s info manager Mike Selleck:
On May 12, 1910 Chief Bender tosses a no-hitter in the A’s 4-0 win over Cleveland…on May 12, 1992 Dave Stewart records his 1000th strikeout in an Oakland uniform in the A’s 3-0 loss at Toronto.
