Forgotten Greats: Six A’s hitters we should remember more often

With the MLB lockout pausing the offseason, and baseball news virtually nonexistent, this is a good time to look back on some Oakland A’s history.

While scrolling through Twitter the other day, I came across an interesting conversation starter from Fox Sports analyst Ben Verlander:

What player was absolutely dominant for a period of time but is mostly forgotten about today?

Indeed, I hadn’t thought about Hafner in quite a while. Did you remember the Cleveland slugger led the American League in OPS in 2006?
