Finally reading Aces: The Last Season on the Mound with the Oakland A's Big Three, after listening to Mychael's radio show on Saturdays and promising myself I would read it years ago. I always enjoyed his take on the vast array of topics he would cover beyond the A's and i'll never look at a shopping cart the same way as I did before I first tuned in! R.I.P. Big Urbs!

Condolences to the Urban family. Big Urb was not only a teammate but a friend. Spent many hours playing, laughing and competing at Cañada. The playing was fun by the hanging out before and after the games with the fellas was the best part. Miss seeing Urb look back at me at 2nd and yelling at him to " bust this dude inside" when he was in the mound or us giving him a hard time for not running with us while he´s sat on an exercise bike at the top of the hill. Lastly, gonna his
