MLB Baseball podcast with Augie:

There were questions as to whether or not if San Francisco Giants starter Blake Snell was going to start today but because the St Louis Cardinals were a team that were not in spot for contention and it really didn’t matter that’s one of the reasons why he didn’t start.

The Giants are hoping that Snell would be back next season in a Giants uniform. Snell signed late this season and that’s probably part of the reason why the Giants season turned out as it did. With injuries and other factors. What is Snell going to do for next season that’s the question.

The date of Thursday Sep 26, 2024 the last Oakland A’s game in their history their first game for the A’s in Oakland April 17, 1968. Reggie Jackson was remembered for being the first Oakland hitter to hit a home run and that was on the road.

The first A’s player to hit a home run in Oakland was Rick Monday and he was the first ever draft pick for the Oakland A’s back in 1965 when they were still Kansas City. Monday hit that first and no one hit a home run in the A’s last homestand before they closed out the Oakland Coliseum.
