This is the first year this official award has been bestowed by MLB. The A’s finished the 2018 season with a 97-65 record—fourth best in baseball—after finishing last in the AL West each of the previous three seasons. The club reached the postseason for the fourth time in the last seven years despite losing 21 players—including nine starting pitchers—to the disabled list. Beane has been named Major League Executive of the Year by Baseball America two times (2002; 2013) and The Sporting News Executive of the Year twice as well (1999; 2012). He also earned MLB.com’s Greatness in Baseball Yearly (GIBBY) Award as the 2012 MLB Executive of the Year and the 2012 Legacy Awards’ Rube Foster Award as AL Executive of the Year, presented by the Negro League Baseball Museum. Under his watch, the A’s have compiled a 1793-1607 (.527) record over the last 21 years, which is the fourth-best record in the American League and seventh best in all of baseball during that time frame.

  • Honoring and Preserving the Sports History of Chautauqua County
    Honoring and Preserving the Sports History of Chautauqua County 15 West Third Street - Jamestown, NY 14701 May 2020 Dear inductees and their families, members, supporters and friends, I hope this letter finds you well. My purpose is to inform you about the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame during the coronavirus crisis that has consumed our nation. On March 15th, Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel issued an emergency declaration. In response, I made the decision to immediately close the CSHOF until further notice. I was concerned about the threat of exposure to our loyal volunteers, visitors to our facility, and CSHOF directors. Since that time, we have been continuing to operate the business side of the organization. Treasurer Lee Johnson, secretary Russ Ecklund, and vice-president Bob Schmitt have all been in our office fulfilling their duties. I might note that they are working alone and taking appropriate precautions. I, too, have been working my normal daily hours, in solitary, at the CSHOF handling written correspondence, answering e-mails, maintaining a presence on the CSHOF Facebook page, submitting a weekly article to The Post- Journal on the history of baseball, maintaining and updating our inventory data base, adding material about our inductees to our website, performing janitorial duties, etcetera, all with the goal of continuing to meet our mission: To Honor and Preserve the Sports History of Chautauqua County. We were very fortunate to hold our 39th annual Induction Banquet on February 17th before the virus shutdowns occurred. Chairman Chip Johnson again orchestrated a very successful sold-out event at which we inducted 9 deserving individuals to our Hall of Honor, recognized 47 high school, collegiate and community athletes and presented 17 Legacy Awards to outstanding athletes and contributors.

  • A's News Clips, Monday November 28, 2011 A's Hire Former Giants
    A’s News Clips, Monday November 28, 2011 A's hire former Giants outfielder Chili Davis as hitting coach By Carl Steward, Oakland Tribune The A's completed their 2012 coaching staff with the hiring of former switch-hitting Giants outfielder Chili Davis as their hitting coach Saturday. It will be the first major league coaching job for Davis, who played 19 seasons with five major league teams, including his first seven with the Giants from 1981-87. But according to Davis, he has been on the radar of A's general manager Billy Beane and manager Bob Melvin for a while. He said Beane contacted him as long as five years ago about possibly working for Oakland and that Melvin was interested in employing him in his two prior managerial stints. Melvin and Davis were teammates with the Giants in 1986-87. "I know (Melvin's) tried to hire me twice, once with the Seattle Mariners, which was a job I was looking forward to at that time but didn't get it, and then again with the Arizona Diamondbacks," he said. "So I guess the third time's the charm. It all comes back around to two people who I know really wanted me with them and the opportunity finally came. To me, it's perfect timing right now." Davis, 51, said he is excited about returning to the Bay Area, and he isn't coming in as a novice. In 2011, he was the hitting coach for Boston's Triple-A affiliate in Pawtucket, R.I., and he was an instructional league hitting coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010.

It meant the boots of Caleb Cowart would soon be on the ground. The 2010 first-round pick of the Angels is a devoted hunter/fisherman and will probably be out of cell phone range until the dawn of spring training, 2013. Just the mention of the woods brought a poignant catch in Cowart's voice as he sat in the Scottsdale Scorpions' dugout before a game last week. "I hunt everything," he said. "Mainly I like to deer hunt. I'm passionate about it. And it started Sept. 8. I got to go home about three weeks before the Fall League so I did some of it. But it goes on until Dec. 2. Then duck hunting comes right behind that, starting Nov. 25. "I've gotten an 8-point buck before, but not any real big deer.
