I know they’ll miss their team, but I hope they’ll all stay A’s fans because they’re a special group.” “Those were my favorite two years of my career,” Giambi said at the podium after accepting his Hall of Fame green jacket. Tenace used his acceptance speech as a tribute to his teammates who died recently: Vida Blue, Sal Bando and Ray Fosse.
