Good morning, Athletics Nation!
Memorial Day weekend came and went, and for the first time in over a century it was not accompanied by baseball. Still, a peaceful day with no social obligations isn’t the worst way to spend this particular holiday, giving us a chance to slow down and do the actual memorializing for which it’s intended. I hope your day went well and that many heroes were remembered fondly.
Unfortunately, in the world of Oakland A’s baseball, the family suffered a recent loss of their own. The team announced on Monday the death of longtime scoreboard operator Chester Farrow, who had held that post for over 50 years.
