RIP Vida Blue
Started with the A’s in early 70s. Part of the A’s ‘73 champion. Pitched for KC in early 80s but did time for drug possession.

Great, great pitcher. I remember him pitching for KC.

HUGE player during my youth. Everyone knew Vida Blue from the great A's teams during that era. Not positive but I thought he and Reggie Jackson were really good friends while teammates in Oakland.

He lived longer than expected.

R.I.P. to another legend from my youth.

He's kind of the first baseball player I remember. I liked his name and the A's were strong about the time that I figured out that there are minor sports beyond football.

Unique names were a requirement on his teams. Rollie Fingers, Sal Bando, Catfish Hunter, Blue Moon Odom...

This is off the charts ridiculously great.
-----------------------------------------------------
Blue had a 24–8 record in 1971, an AL leading 1.82 ERA and eight shutouts, and struck out 301 batters, winning both the Cy Young Award and American League Most Valuable Player Award. He also led the American League in complete games (24), shutouts (8) and earned run average (1.82)

Pitched for the Iowa Oaks in 1970 before moving up to the A's. The local franchise, now a Cubs affiliate, speaks to this as one of their premier players over the years. RIP

**** Charlie Finley. Took them away with all those hall of fame players waiting for stardom in the minors. No good one who sucks the penis.


Was disappointed in 71 when they came to town and due to rainout somewhere, instead of seeing Blue, I saw Pat Dobson against Jim Rooker. And later that year saw Catfish beat Al Fitzmorris 2-1.

Blue got lit up pretty well in the 71 ASG. Of course he was facing some seriously great hitters. Gave up HR’s to Bench, Aaron and Clemente. And Reggie hit one into the light standard at Tiger stadium that game. Tony Kubek swore it was leaving Tiger Stadium if it hadn’t hit the lights.

The A’s were still fresh in my mind in those days. They won 101 games that year but lost to the Orioles. What a team they had.
