Elephant Rumblings: A’s magic number at 5 entering final week

From the beginning of MLB history through 1990 -- around 115 years -- only 22 teams total finished a season with at least 200 home runs.

In 2019 alone, 23 teams have hit 200 or more home runs -- and Cardinals this week will make 24.

Yet another reminder: This year is abnormal.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) September 23, 2019

  • I guess Mookie Betts borrowed Ramon Laureano’s arm for the off day...
  • Jomboy knows what’s up...

The Coliseum isn't a nice stadium, its an ugly concrete jungle BUT the Oakland fans are top tier and will have that place going crazy
