37. Hatteberg,Justice, Fosse,Rudi,Blue, and Tenace
My thirty-seventh video features former members of the Oakland Athletics. At the 2012 Athletics Fan Festival, I met Scott Hatteberg, David Justice, Ray Fosse, Joe Rudi, Vida Blue, and Gene Tenace.
The 2002 Athletics featured Scott Hatteberg and David Justice. They won twenty consecutive games, which set an American League record!
In 2003, Michael Lewis published Moneyball, which became a best-selling book. In this book, there is an entire chapter about Scott Hatteberg, and David Justice is discussed, too. Then, in 2011, Moneyball became a magnificent movie.
In the 1970s, Ray Fosse, Joe Rudi, Vida Blue, and Gene Tenace led the amazing Athletics to five consecutive divisional titles and three World Series championships. As a matter of fact, those four champions just appeared in Comcast SportsNet California’s documentary entitled, Legends: Oakland A’s, The Forgotten Dynasty.
