Youngsters get batting tips from a pro at A’s FanFest
on January 27, 2016
Beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today
We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field
Roundin’ third and and headed for home
It’s a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel
– “Centerfield,” John Fogerty
At O.Co Coliseum, home of the Oakland A’s, there is not, in fact, new grass on the field. At FanFest this past Sunday, the field was a sea of dirt.
Still, fans decked out in team regalia turned the stadium green. Oakland North was there. Check out our photo-audio slideshow above!
