Via Barry Zito Forever, I see that newly-installed A’s closer Huston Street is writing about his experiences over at ESPN.com. I loved his opening line:
Every kid who has dreamed of being a baseball player has stood in his front yard with a bat and said to himself, “Bottom of the ninth, Game 7 of the World Series, the bases are loaded,” and then envisioned hitting a home run to win the game. My job is to shatter that dream.
You know, this Angel fan would find it a lot easier to hate the A’s if their players would stop being so damn cool.
