When I was 12 it was Rickey's rookie year . Back then Chewing tabbacky was
everywhere in baseball. The players would spit their cud while rounding the bases .
Well Rickey's mama made sure her son didn't get addicted to tobacco. He chewed
bubble gum and he blew bubbles while rounding the bases . As a kid he quickly
became my favorite player . and Very soon after he became everyone's favorite .

I've been an A's fan my whole life .

That's my Rickey Story .
