My subject line was going to have something to the effect of, "Tasty as a chocolate egg, but far fewer calories," but since today's game just took about ten years off my life, I'm going to be a grumpy sourpuss.
Despite this however, I will get back to my point, which was to post Part 1 of my A's scans. Today, I have some scans from the April/May issue of the magazine, a couple from the spring training issue. Part 2, which I will post later or tomorrow or something, will have pages from the yearbook (and there are lots!). I was going to post them all at once, but it took me pretty much the entire length of the game to upload the ones I already have, so... I'm tired of sitting here at my computer screen. This is quite enough for today.
These are the hugest-ass files ever, and there are many, so rather than displaying them or even thumbnailing, I'm just going to put the links, and you can save-target-as to your heart's content:
March (spring training issue)
The cover - Kendall Street from the table of contents (minus his right arm, which took up the entire left side)

Back - StreetPhoto and article, page 1Photo and article, page 2Photo and article, page 3Photo and article, page 4An ad we haven't seen yet*sigh* Danny Haren was marvelous today. That's just tough.
*EDIT* Oooh, forgot to post a request for you guys. Did anyone go to yesterday's game and get one of those A's calendars? Apparently they feature pictures of the A's with their dogs, and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it if someone who had it would scan it. (In addition to loving the A's, I also love dogs. And I definitely love pictures of cute boys with cute dogs.)
