A’s Day

Welcome to A’s Day! I’m your host, Joe Grato and I aim to cover Athletics baseball from an independent media baseball fan perspective. I will be sharing all happenings from the MLB and MILB A’s teams from the off-season all through each MLB season. The creation of our show aligns with a new beginning for us but a symbol of new beginnings for the Athletics as they head to Sacramento for the 2025 season. Tune in to hear news, opinions, and creative A’s player, team, and travel content that’ll excite you with the direction of the current core group on this roster. Let’s go A’s!
