50th anniversary of first A's game in Oakland

Today is the 50th anniversary of the very first A's game in Oakland after they left Kansas City. I was in attendance April 17, 1968, with my folks and my best friend, Rod Zecher (who, with his wife, Jennifer, blessed us with a visit just last week—great friendships last!). The Orioles won, but we saw the first A's HR in Oakland, by Rick Monday. Plus, the dedication speech before the game was given by California Governor Ronald Reagan.
