Doors open at 11am, lunch starts at 11:30, and the speakers commence around noon. Our luncheons always feature someone from the Oakland A’s organization, plus an A’s memorabilia raffle, and a great lunch! DATE EVENT DETAILS Aug 24 Reservation Deadline for the Email Shannon at August 31st Luncheon [email protected], call Aug 31 Reservation Deadline for the her at (916) 934-9443, or log onto September 7th Luncheon www.oaklandathleticsboosterclub.com Aug 31 Luncheon - Friday East Side Club, Coliseum Sep 7 Luncheon - Friday East Side Club, Coliseum President’s Message By Shannon Starr Wow – can you believe as I write this our boys are only 2 games out of 1st place? This season has been incredible and I know you agree with me in hoping it just keeps getting better and better. I can’t wait to see where this team goes! Have you ever thought about where these players start out? What it takes to make it to the Major League? Athletics players that are drafted out of High School or brought in from international locations usually start out in the AZ League. Often called “fire league” or “rookie league,” the AZL season starts in the summer shortly after the draft. Games are at 7pm because the AZ summer temperatures are usually triple-digit. Some of the players have not even turned 18 years old yet.
