Oakland A’s made a surprise cameo at end of Saturday Night Live

Ever since I was in 7th grade in the late-1990s, I’ve been a huge fan of the show Saturday Night Live.

A year of pandemic quarantine allowed plenty of time to revisit old clips online, and there are some classic baseball sketches. Just to name a few, they’ve had Will Ferrell impersonating Chicago Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray, a Ken Burns mockumentary about mid-90s strike replacement players, teased Barry Bonds and the Giants for cheating, featured Jose Altuve sitting on Leslie Jones’ lap, and did a 2015 sketch about playing in front of an empty stadium that still feels painfully relevant in multiple ways.
