Darn. He was soooo good, a tick before my time but I watched enough of him and had his cards.
Most dynamic leadoff hitter I've seen, and the stories about him are legendary.

I was a big A's fan as a boy in the late 80's. Much respect to one of the greats!

Probably my all time favorite player. He could hit for power of he wanted to. (All time leader. In lead off the game homers) Greatest base stealer of all time and a terror for pitchers when he was on base.

I had this on my wall as a kid, one of my favorite players of that period
