The first person to bat for the Oakland Athletics (after their move from Kansas City) was what shortstop, who stole a career-high 62 bases that year and led the American League in steals six times?
Which broadcaster spent the 1970 season (and only that season) alongside Monte Moore in the A's radio booth? He said of his previous employer: "I thought they were going to give me a gold watch, but instead they gave me a pink slip."
Name EITHER the manager who resigned after leading the A's to back-to-back titles in 1972-73, OR the skipper who replaced him for Oakland's third straight title.
What dubious distinction did Brian Kingman achieve in 1980? Kingman had been the last person to do this until Mike Maroth did it (and went one further) with the 2003 Detroit Tigers.
What nickname appeared on a 1988 poster depicting Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire in black suits, black fedoras, and yellow shirts? Not to be outdone, Giants sluggers Will Clark and Kevin Mitchell appeared on posters a year later as the Pacific Sock Exchange.
Which National League TEAM currently employs as its general manager a man who won two 1989 World Series starts, and had an 8-0 career record against arch-nemesis Roger Clemens?
Who threw a no-hitter on May 1, 1991, the same day Rickey Henderson got his record-breaking 939th career stolen base? In 1989 Henderson had been on the other end of this man's 5000th career strikeout.
What city is home to Cashman Field, where the A's played their first few home games of the 1996 season during "renovations" of Oakland Coliseum?
FIRST AND LAST NAME REQUIRED: Who was out at home in Game 3 of the 2001 Division Series, after Derek Jeter was in the right place at the right time to make a short relay throw for the ages?
Who played Scott Hatteberg in the movie adaptation of Moneyball? (Spoiler alerts: Hatteberg's walk-off home run ends the climactic game of the movie, and this actor moved on to bigger things.)
What uniform number has been worn by Mark Mulder, Huston Street, and Josh Donaldson in Oakland (Donaldson still wears this number in Toronto)? Aside from uniforms this number is significant to the game mentioned in the previous question.
In TV ads for the 2015 A's (on Comcast Sports Net), which catcher asks to be called Everything Bagel? Injuries limited him to first base and outfield a season ago; in 2015 he was an all-star.
