The @Athletics invited A's superfan Elijah, a brave 4-year-old with Cerebral Palsy, to Spring Training this afternoon.
A's pitchers Joey Estes & Brady Basso spent some time with Elijah before today's A's vs Reds game.
“Crazy that I won’t be able to like show this place to my kids, to my family ever again…it’s like a part of my story kind of missing.” -@JoeyEstes21
Joey speaks for a lot of us.
And it never had to be this way. #FJF
Some great interviews from 9/26 via the Bat Boys YouTube channel: youtu.be/ZJTkL7mjhZQ?si…
Goodbye, Oakland Coliseum.
Goodbye, Oakland A’s.
There will never be another place like the Coliseum. There will never be another fanbase that can create the magic housed within these concrete walls.

Joey Estes writes "Vinny" inside of a heart on the mound before his start today in memory of his brother-in-law, Vincent Gahret, who was killed in a multi-vehicle accident that involved a drunk driver, on Aug. 10.
Joey Estes was DEALING yet again tonight.
Before the game began, Estes etched his late brother-in-law's name in the dirt of the backside of the mound to honor his memory following a fatal car accident.
Doesn't get much easier to get behind a guy like Joey Estes.

"You can’t explain the feeling when you lose a sibling. … It doesn’t feel real. I should be talking to him right now. I just have to move on and live in his presence.”
Joey Estes pitched with a heavy heart after losing a loved one in a fatal accident. mlb.com/news/joey-este…
Joey Estes put together yet another solid outing shortly removed from a fatal motorcycle accident involving his brother-in-law, Vinny.
You have to love how this kid continues to fight; a tremendous addition to the staff. #Athletics
@MartinJGallegos Also, MLB 3D replay backs up what Estes is saying - his arms went up when the ball is being retrieved in the outfield and he is in position to back up/cut off a throw. @SNYtv improperly cuts the video to attribute it to Hernáiz at third base.
