Description: OAKLAND-ALAMEDA COUNTY COLISEUM COMPLEXThe Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, home of the Oakland Athletics, stands as an iconic venue in Major League Baseball history. Originally constructed in 1966, the Coliseum has seen its share of baseball legends grace its field. Notable players who have called the Coliseum home include Hall of Famers such as Reggie Jackson, Rickey Henderson, and Dennis Eckersley. Jackson, known for his clutch performances in the postseason, earned the nickname "Mr. October" during his tenure with the Athletics, contributing significantly to their success in the 1970s. Rickey Henderson, regarded as one of the greatest leadoff hitters and baserunners of all time, showcased his electrifying speed and on-base prowess while wearing the green and gold. Dennis Eckersley, a dominant closer, solidified his Hall of Fame credentials during his time with the A's, recording numerous saves and earning both Cy Young and MVP awards.Beyond the Hall of Famers, the Oakland Coliseum has hosted a myriad of other notable players throughout its history. Stars like Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco formed the formidable "Bash Brothers" duo in the late 1980s, powering the Athletics to success with their prodigious power hitting. Additionally, pitchers such as Catfish Hunter and Dave Stewart left lasting impressions on the mound, with Hunter anchoring the rotation during the A's championship runs in the 1970s and Stewart earning recognition as a postseason ace in the late 1980s and early 1990s. With its rich history and storied players, the Oakland Coliseum remains a hallowed ground for baseball aficionados and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Oakland Athletics franchise.Two unused 4" x 6" continental chrome postcards. $1.50 flat rate shipping to USA, $2.50 Canada.All other countries see eBay's Global Shipping Program for rates.
