I was working in the City for the son of Chub Feeney, former GM of the Giants. He got tickets to all of the Series games and had a raffle in the office and I won a ticket to the second game in Oakland. Being the only A’s fan in the office, I wanted to watch the game in Oakland. A co-worker asked me to trade my ticket for the 3rd game of the Series at Candlestick. He begged, he pleaded and he attempted to bribe me-lunch, big deal. I said no and have been forever more grateful that I did. Had a great time wearing my A’s logo gear while surrounded by my co-workers in their orange and black and our guys beat the crap out of the giants. A very good day!!

I can’t really confirm it, but he was a batting practice pitcher, minor league pitching coach, and pitching chart coordinator for the Giants and A’s for many years, so I don’t have any reason to doubt that he got the ring for his time with the A’s in 1989. I don’t know any other team with whom he would have gotten the ring.

I just returned from a visit to Cooperstown and while at dinner had the occasion to meet Terry Christman, who was wearing a WS ring. He told me that he was a member of the A’s 1989 coaching staff. I have been unable to confirm that on the internet. Can you confirm that he was a coach?
Thank you.
