Bye Bill!

I love the A's and its become more apparent as I watch the playoffs. I could care less who wins, especially now that Tom's Cardinals are out. But even while they were still in the heat of the race to the World Series, I couldn't help thinking, "damn, I wish my team was still playing".
Now the A's are without its voice and that makes this payoff season even sadder. In the day I've read a bunch of articles on Bill King's passing and this quote from his partner in the booth, Ken Korach, sums up how great Bill King was for Broadcasting and the A's:
"Bill was a great partner. He cared deeply about the broadcasts and was very serious about his work, but he never saw himself as more important than the game. He loved the A's. He hated to see the team lose, and he got emotional when they won, but he never became a homer."
Take that, Hawk Harrelson!
It sucks that Bill will not call next year's games...a year where the team looks like it could go all the way. You can read the rest of Ken's article here
