When they were the Mackmen

Posted on 06/25/2011 by Alex Espinoza

Long before Al Davis was Al Davis, Connie Mack was Connie Mack. Though he didn’t have the sweet leather jump suits like Al, Mack remains the best-dressed manager in Major League history. For 50 years he controlled the Athletics and for 50 years he wore a suit in the dugout.

Now that the A’s are back in Philly, let’s take a trip with Mr. Mack down memory lane to where it all started.

Danny Fry’s superstitious acts fail Golden Beers

Posted on 06/24/2011 by Alex Espinoza

‘See you next year’ never sounded so good, but the Golden Beers of California are finally done in Omaha. ‘Twas a magical campaign in 2011 for Cal, which lost 8-1 to top-seeded Virginia on Thursday.

Try as he might, Danny Fry couldn’t use his superstitious ways to keep Cal’s miracle run alive. The student radio broadcaster was up to his shenanigans again, doing some ridiculous/hilarious things to try and get the rally going.

Beers must win to extend storybook season/upcoming docudrama

Posted on 06/23/2011 by eastBaymode

The California baseball team once again finds itself facing elimination. Judging by their performance in these situations over the last year, you gotta love their chances.

In a lose-or-go-home game against Texas A&M on Tuesday, Cal’s offense exploded in the 5th and 6th innings, scoring 3 runs in each. Though closing out the game was tense, the Beers cruised to a 7-3 win to stay alive. Again.

Eric Walbridge: Cal baseball’s Alfred Hitchcock

Posted on 06/20/2011 by eastBaymode

Everyone’s seen the Cal baseball reinstatement rap, but pitcher Eric Walbridge has a couple other videos he’s added to his YouTube account. He apparently also makes acoustic T-Pain covers with his lady friend.

Here’s a vid of the team messing around, complete with tomfoolery and inappropriateness, and another slow motion vid set to the song from Inception.

Danny Fry, Golden Beers pushed to brink again

Posted on 06/19/2011 by Alex Espinoza

The Cal baseball team probably lost on purpose today just so it could feel comfortable. The Golden Beers always do well when they’re close to elimination.

On Sunday, Virginia’s pitching staff was too much for Cal, which lost 4-1 and was sent to the loser’s bracket of the College World Series in Omaha.

But the greater world was introduced to Danny Fry today, as ESPN cut to the Cal student radio play-by-play man for parts of the game. Truth be told, he was more entertaining and informed than ESPN’s commentators.

Root, root, root for the Goooooolden Beers

Posted on 06/18/2011 by eastBaymode

The Cal baseball team (which had seven draftees) is hoping to add to its epic season tomorrow when it takes on Virginia in the first round of the College World Series.

They went from nearly extinct to bad rap song to Danny Fry to official reinstatement and now they’re off to Omaha. Here’s a few interviews with players before they left, including one with A’s 33rd round draft pick Austin Booker:
