The Oakland Coliseum has a long history of animals running around on its field, from Evie the Cat in 1990 to the Rally Possum(s) of the last several years. Baseball stadiums are huge facilities, after all, so it’s not unusual for some critters to find their way in and make themselves at home. However, if you keep your eye on Rickey Henderson Field before and after A’s games these days, you might catch a glimpse of one animal who is there on purpose: Reba the Groundsdog.
Clay Wood has been the A’s head groundskeeper since 1994.
