The 2020 MLB season is on hiatus during the coronavirus pandemic, so we’ve got some time to burn and a baseball void to fill. Fortunately, there are decades of Oakland A’s history to look back on, and even rerunball is better than no ball at all. Let’s reminisce!
Here’s the latest “this date in history” from A’s info manager Mike Selleck:
May 7 is the first of three straight #ThisDateInAthleticsHistory with a no-hitter. In 2019, Mike Fiers tosses his second career no-hitter in the A’s 2-0 win over Cincinnati…it is the 13th no-hitter in Athletics history, the eighth since the club moved to Oakland in 1968.
