Truly an end of an era for the A's since David Forst was really a continuation of the Billy Beane era. Dan Feinstein is, too, in some ways but no guarantee, I would think, that he continues as GM next year. Will be interesting to see who wants to take on leading that franchise.

This incredible conversation with Dusty Baker, from @brownieathletic.bsky.social, is the best thing I've read all week. The tales - of Hank Aaron, John Wooden, Sandy Koufax, Satchel Paige, Bill Walsh, Tom Selleck, etc, etc, etc - are so, so great www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...

I grew up wanting to write like Scott Ostler, like kids who emulate their favorite ballplayer’s swing. Of course, nobody can write like Scott. It’s impossible to be that funny, that insightful, that brilliant. Oh, and he gave me this cool T-shirt. Best of luck, Scott! @howardbeck.bsky.social
