  • A's News Clips, Sunday, June 27, 2010 All-Star Outing by Trevor
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, June 27, 2010 All-Star outing by Trevor Cahill lifts Oakland A's By Joe Stiglich, Contra Costa Times A's starter Trevor Cahill said he's likely to spend his All-Star break logging beach time in his hometown of Oceanside, just outside of San Diego. As things are unfolding, Cahill's agenda could get redirected north to Anaheim. The All-Star Game is at Angel Stadium on July 13, and Cahill is making a bid to represent the A's. He's building a case that's hard to ignore. Cahill limited the Pittsburgh Pirates to two hits over 72/3 innings in a 5-0 victory Saturday night in front of 25,068 fans at the Oakland Coliseum. He struck out a career-high 10 and won his sixth straight decision, giving him the longest winning streak by an A's starting pitcher since Dan Haren won 10 straight from April 18-July 1, 2007. The A's are likely to get just one player named to the All-Star team, and closer Andrew Bailey and catcher Kurt Suzuki figure to get strong consideration, too. Typical of his personality, Cahill (7-2, 2.88 ERA), who less than two months ago was at Triple-A Sacramento, takes a low-key approach about even hearing his name in the discussion. "When I was in Sacramento, I never thought I'd be where I'm at now, or even in consideration," Cahill said. "So just being mentioned, it means a lot. We've got plenty of guys that are good enough to be named All-Stars." The A's were bound to grab attention on 1970s Turn Back The Clock Night, regardless of how they played.

    369. 1949 Silber’s Bakery Colts Y.A. Tittle SGC 40 Rookie (Only Known Graded) While most football historians associate Yelberton Abraham Y.A. Tittle with either the San Francisco 49ers or New York Giants, the Hall of Fame quarterback honed his craft with the 1948-1949 Baltimore Colts of the All-America Football Conference. The affable Louisiana State alum followed his Baltimore tenure with ten All-Pro/Pro-Bowl selections and a pair of NFL Most Valuable Players awards. Depicting the gunslinger at the dawn of his prolific career, the offered 1949 Silber’s Bakery Y.A. Tittle rookie card is the first such to have been offered for public sale and the only professionally graded example. Graded 40 VG 3 by SGC, Tittle was one of seventeen known players issued by the Southwest Baltimore bakery and distributed during the season as part of a promotional campaign at the eight Silber’s “Charm City” locations. According to a reliable Maryland-based hob- byist, only three Tittle examples are known, the offered sample and another, which is permanently nestled in a private collection. According to a book by Patterson entitled Football In Baltimore: History and Memorabilia (2000, Johns Hopkins University Press), a previous owner relates the following story, “I ran into Y.A. Tittle, one of my all-time heroes, several years ago, and showed him my Silber’s card of him. Y.A looked at it in amazement, saying he had no recollection whatsoever of the card. He thought, and all the price guides echo it, that his 1950 Bowman card was his rookie card.
