One of these days, with all the other players wearing white shoes (or orange) at the All-Star game, some A's player is going to have to wear plain black shoes.Steve Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297044571819912511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-1786754798678192822010-11-05T13:29:27.513-04:002010-11-05T13:29:27.513-04:00one more thought about this card...It is the last ...one more thought about this card...It is the last of three previous card making use of the same picture.

Their minor league team in Birmingham had the same uniforms and whenever they came to Chattanooga (where I grew up) my father would take me just to see the uniforms.
