Tom Hanks, winner of the Cecil B. Demille Award, poses in the press room during the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 05, 2020 in Beverly Hills, California.Today, Tom Hanks gets top-billing on movie marquees as one of the world's biggest Hollywood stars. But growing up in California's Bay Area, Hanks had a summer job selling hot dogs as a teenager.
"It's not a ballgame without a hot dog!" Hanks cries as part of the pre-recorded shtick that the A's have pumped over their stadium's loudspeakers,, in a further attempt to recreate the sights and sounds of a normal MLB game. Placed in the stands behind home plate, the cutout of the "Apollo 13" and "A League of Their Own" star is among many other cardboard cutouts featuring the likenesses of A's fans — a practice thatthis season in the hopes of making MLB stadiums feel a bit less empty during this atypical baseball season.
Hanks's cutout features the star wearing a white cap and a red-and-white striped vest, in the style of the hot dog vendors who typically work games at the Oakland Coliseum in normal times.
