Happy Tuesday everyone!
One of our guys got some national recognition yesterday. Designated Hitter Brent Rooker, the squad’s All-Star last season, won his first AL Player of the Week award, joining superstar Shohei Ohtani as the winners of the award this week:

It’s a well-deserved award after Rooker played a key part in the recent 6-game winning streak. He went 7-16 with three home runs (including that two-homer inning a couple days ago). He joined A’s legend Mark McGuire as Athletics to homer twice in the same inning, putting his name down into the A’s record books alongside Big Mac.
