IF YOU ARE AN A'S FAN THEN THIS FOR YOU. IT GIVES A REAL NICE CLOSE UP LOOK AT THE 3 ACES THAT HELPED THE A'S IN THE EARLY 2000'S WIN 3 DIVISION TITLES. THE BIG 3 WERE ALL QUITE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES AND DIFFERNT IN THEIR APPROACH TO PITCHING. ALL WERE GOOD PITCHERS AND ALL WENT TO DIFFERENT TEAMS BECAUSE OAKLAND CLAIMS THEY COULD NOT AFFORD THEM. PART OF THE MONEYBALL PHILOSOPHY. THE READER GETS A VERY DETAILED START BY START LOOK AT THE ENTIRE 2004 SEASON. I LIKE THIS BOOK AND HIGHLY SUGGEST IT FOR ALL BASEBALL FANS BUT ESPECIALLY FOR OAKLAND FANS.
