I know this has nothing to do directly with the team but I thought it was worth noting.  Forgive me if it has already been mentioned.  For as long as I can remember THE landmark to let me know I was "almost there" on the way to A's games has been the oval Levitz sign off 880 North.  If you have gone to A's games the last 20 plus years from this direction you know the sign I'm talking about.  It was there Monday and gone Wednesday.  Just a big blank pole remains.  Sniff, how will I know I'm almost there?

I have entered my Bobblehead collection in the Alameda County Fair (June 20-July 6th)

My collection contains 33 Bobbleheads.  From Giambi to Suzuki, I have most  of the giveaways plus some hidden gems.  Ever seen a Buzz and Woody A's bobblehead?

Some of my highlights include:

Eric Byrnes

Dave Stewart 

Carney Lansford Signed

Nick Swisher Signed (left and right handed

And the greatest bobblehead ever created...
