Billy and the Oakland A's share with OMCA a commitment to Oakland and Bay Area youth, particularly in the areas of education and access for underserved youth. Considered one of the most progressive and talented baseball executives in the game today, Billy Beane has molded the Athletics into one of baseball’s most respected teams since assuming the general manager’s duties after the 1997 season. As architect of a team that has won back-to-back American League West crowns the past two seasons, Beane has recently been recognized with several industry awards. In 2012, he was named Baseball America’s Major League Executive of the Year, and was selected The Oakland Museum of California • 1000 Oak Street • Oakland, CA 94607 • 510-318-8400 Sporting News Executive of the Year for a second time in his career in 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). Beane’s executive talents and the organization’s baseball philosophy were the subject of Michael Lewis’ best-selling book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, and subsequent full-length motion picture, which opened the eyes of many of the top sports executives and business CEOs in the nation. UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS SuperAwesome! Art and Giant Robot April 19–July 27, 2014 This exhibition will feature the work of 15 contemporary artists associated with the groundbreaking magazine Giant Robot, an ahead-of-its-time celebration of Asian and Asian American pop and alternative culture. Founded in 1994, Giant Robot grew from being a small, punk-oriented zine to a multiplatform art space with a robust online presence, retail stores, and related events. Organized by Associate Curator of Design and Material Culture Carin Adams, and guest curated by Giant Robot’s editor and publisher, Eric Nakamura, OMCA’s exhibition will present works in a variety of media by some of the most exciting talents to emerge from this edgy scene. Vinyl: The Sound and Culture of Records April 19–July 27, 2014 Explore the social and cultural phenomenon of listening to, collecting, and sharing records in Vinyl: The Sound and Culture of Records. Delve into a uniquely Californian take on this popular medium with experiences ranging from individual and group listening stations to informal talks and live performances. Listen to music produced by influential Bay Area independent labels, examine notable record collections, explore displays of vibrant album cover art, and hear interviews with record collectors—all in an innovative listening space. With opportunities to play albums and participate in music events and performances, Vinyl invites you to become a part of the exhibition itself. Vinyl connects to OMCA’s major spring exhibition SuperAwesome! Art and Giant Robot through programs and in-gallery experiences celebrating how a range of communities comes together to create shared popular culture. This exhibition is organized by Senior Curator of Art René de Guzman. Co-designed with San Francisco-based art and design studio Rebar, known for founding international Park(ing) Day and their innovative designs that investigate new forms of public space. Inspired in part by Seattle-based Olson Kundig Architects’ innovative project space Oakland Museum of California • 1000 Oak Street • Oakland, CA 94607 • 510-318-8400 [storefront]. In-kind support for Vinyl: The Sound and Culture of Records is generously provided by Amoeba Music. Fertile Ground: Art and Community in California September 20, 2014–April 12, 2015 In the fall of 2014, OMCA will present a major collaborative exhibition with SFMOMA, on view at the Museum for four months while SFMOMA is closed during its expansion. The exhibition brings together important works from both museums’ collections, exploring how California artists have influenced and been influenced by artists, trends, and cultures on national and international levels. The exhibition explores four decisive periods from the last century that reveal different points of contact between California artists and the art world at large, beginning with the 1930s, when Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo were working in Depression-era California. The second period focuses on artists associated with the California School of Fine Arts, including Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Dorothea Lange. The third period is UC Davis in the 1960s and 70s, when groundbreaking artists William Wiley, Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson, Roy de Forest, and Manuel Neri were members of the extraordinary faculty. Finally comes the San Francisco Mission Scene from 1990 to the present, when the work of artists like Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, and Chris Johanson reflected the bohemian street culture of the Mission District. ON VIEW EXHIBITIONS WHAT’S HAPPENING, CALIFORNIA? Hard Times in the OC Through April 27, 2014 This installation in the Gallery of California History co-curated with faculty and students at California State University Fullerton focuses on the effects of the 2008 recession in Orange County. Hard Times in the OC is the second in the series titled What’s Happening, California? a partnership between OMCA and California State University in which professors and students co-create exhibitions on topics affecting communities throughout the state.

  • 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.
