How can you not be romantic about baseball?

[luizsanches]

I don't care if Cleaveland topped Oakland. This streak was more emotional. It's incredible how they celebrate each victory

[uncensorer]

When they were losing and losing, Billy Beane was being vilified, ostracized, mocked, etc. When they kept winning and winning, Art Howe (who HATED the system Beane implemented) was getting all the praise from

[JackieTrainwreck]

As a lifelong A’s fan, witnessing this streak was amazing.

[williamreynolds]

That walk off homer will always give me chills. One of the best scenes in movie history and one of the best moments in baseball history.

[OfficalAlexPlays]

I like how not many fans in the seats in the beginning then packed house at the end. What a run for those misfit toys.

[edvardferand]

Those last 3 victories were so exciting. Three walkoffs in a row. And winning the 20th after blowing an 11 run lead. I always rewatch Moneyball to get pumped for baseball season. Have had to watch it twice this year though. Thankful we will actually get some baseball.

It's amazing that the A's did something that the Yankees never did

[joeyjones]

Moneyball made it seem as if this team was made up of part-time appliance salesmen and amputees. These A's actually had a very good roster.

[karlphilipemanuelcook]

This team was stacked. Dye, Durham, Chavez, Tejada, Zito, Mulder, Hudson, and Byrnes were all very good to great players.

[c.m.f.]

As a lifelong A’s fan watching them win these games was awesome. I remember Tejada walking off two straight games (wins 18 & 19). I still get chills watching this. Then I remember the sinking feeling of the Royals rallying only to have Hatty walk it off in the 10th. Never again will this happen in my life time. So amazing!

[sportsmaster]

A streak so big, they used the stadium's FOOTBALL capacity for that 20th game.

[ConnerMello]

Zito's curve was insane. I miss finesse pitchers like him.

[whateverbro]

When the a’s are good it’s really special. They have such an electric to them. Hard to explain.

[AdamWest]

I loved this Oakland Athletics team, Chavez, Tejada, Zito, Hudson were my favorites....wish i can buy their jerseys again smh

My A's are playing hot right now hope it continues all the way through October

[theromanceofwax]

Can't help but smile and tear up at the Scott Hatteberg HR

[membersonlydave]

hudson mulder zito, one of the nastiest top 3 of a rotation i can think of. just wow.

[nizloc]

Im an Angel fan. This Oak run was impressive as hell. Crazy how the Angels kept pace with them. Long time ago so a lot of people have probably forgotten, but the AL West that year was insane. Seattle (Ichiro years) won 93 and didnt make the playoffs....3rd place team that won 93 games...

Nobody gave the Angels a chance in October. I always felt the last 2 months of the regular season forged them. Those series against the As were as tight as any other team was going to be. The 2 series against Oakland in September in particular (with a nice Speez walkoff on Sept 12) were awesome to watch.

Miss those days. The Angels and As were these two great teams that werent NY or Boston, so nobody paid them attention...even though both gave NY and Boston problems every times.

That 20th game was unbelievable. It played out like a movie. Only 1 word can explain how that happened and that word is "Baseball".
