Before embarking on analysis of the A’s latest failed attempt to advance past the ALDS, I have to step back and give a heartfelt thanks to every player and coach for the sacrifices they made to make this season happen for people like me.
2020 has been a rough year, to say the least, filled with far too much angst and sorrow, precious little joy. The A’s season, short as it was and strange as it was, came through in its quest to provide quality entertainment and distraction from the “real world” we have never more needed to escape.
