Oakland Athletics PLAY 2010

We had a great PLAY Campaign in Oakland today! We had 80 kids out from the Richmond PAL and they all had a great time. We had 5 stations out there; Clint Faught of the Taylor Hooton Foundation in the 3rd base dugout, Bob (strength and conditioning coordinator for the A's) in left field running them through agility drills, Asst. athletic trainer Walt Horn in center field leading them in stretching, Eric Patterson and Gio Gonzalez having a home run derby in right field, and Rajai Davis in the 1st base dugout teaching the kids about positive choices. It was a great campaign and Oakland did a great job!
