1969 Macmillan Encylcopedia--signed by A's and RAY OYLER (and someother person)

[baseballart]

I picked this up on the bay, noting that the heavy hitting Ray Oyler signed this. Whole bunch of signatures of A's players on it. I'm sure if I look closely enough there might be a neat signature in there.

Looks like Johnny Podres is in there, too.

Is that a real Joe D in the top left?

Joe D. might make sense -- was he still coaching the A's at that point?

Mark and Greg are indeed correct that that is Joe D's signature--not mentioned at all in the seller's description. He was a coach of the A's at that time. I have no idea whether it is authentic--others can perhaps opine, but it is a cool item nonetheless.

Rollie Fingers to the left of Joe D I think. Catfish Hunter below.

Felipe Alou also seems to be there, but let's not forget Marcel Lachemann and Tommy Reynolds!
