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. https://nypost.com/2023/05/07/vida-b..._medium=social |

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.

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)
