#1 Bill King was the legendary play by play voice for the Oakland A’s, Oakland Raiders, and Golden State Warriors he was the word picture broadcaster. What was it like working alongside one of the great play by play voices in sports history?

#2 You had a chance to cover some of those legendary Oakland Raider teams in the 1970s you knew Raiders owner Al Davis what was it like to work some of those great Raider teams and have access to Davis?

#3 Did you have a chance to cover the 1972-74 A’s World Series teams and the 1988-90 A’s World Series teams.

#4 Since the Giants released LaMonte Wade, Christian Koss, and Sam Huff that might have been the shot in the arm the club needed as they have now won five in row.

#5 A’s Las Vegas situation. They said their putting shovels in the ground with a groundbreaking ceremony later in June. After all this time it’s a question are the A’s really going to get started with the construction of the ballpark like they say they will.
