I am here because I am little bit more obsessed with the Oakland Athletics than the average fan.

I don't know a whole lot about stats, or A's history before I was born, or why I trust Billy Beane so much, I just do.

I come here to learn a lot more than I come here to inform, and I come here to be entertained by all of you fellow AN'ers.

That is all.

Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball Team

Los Angeles Kings National Hockey League Team
