Love it, Michael!
Bravo! One of the highlights of my life was seeing Mickey Mantle knock one over Charley Finley's 40-foot high chain llnk fence in right field onto Brooklyn Avenue. A mule in left field, sheep grazing on the hill in right, a secondhand scoreboard from Braves Field in Boston and a mechanical rabbit delivering new baseballs to the umpires...to a kid like me, it was Disneyland and I loved every minute of it.
Never seen that Butternut piece...some day we'll do a thread on the A's and it may only interest the two of us!
