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.

As a Pirates fan, that brought back a ton of childhood memories.

I remember taking our daughters to see him pitch.

We had great seats and could really see him work.

RIP to one of the best Mr. Vida Blue!

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.
You had me at “**** Charlie Finley.”

I had a red Vida Blue baseball glove as a kid. Loved that glove; probably still my favorite glove to this day....

I remember watching him at Royals Stadium in the early 70 s when the A’s came to town. Great pitcher.
