In this interview, Oakland A's slugger Brent Rooker opens up about his journey through the highs and lows of professional baseball, from being overlooked to becoming one of the most productive hitters in the league. Rooker discusses the power of social media, the mental toll of not getting consistent opportunities early in his career, and how the A's finally gave him the runway to prove himself. He talks about adjusting both physically and mentally, working with performance coaches, and how his brain “keeps receipts” from every doubter. Rooker reflects on pivotal moments, including a college coach who believed in his potential to win SEC Player of the Year, being put on the taxi squad, and eventually stepping into the role of “the guy” in Oakland. He shares insight into the current A's clubhouse, his thoughts on the future of the team in Sacramento, and what it felt like to put up back-to-back huge seasons at the Coliseum — including the emotions of closing it out on the final day. We dive into his work with the A's hitting coach, his approach to simplifying the game, and how manager Mark Kotsay has impacted his development. Rooker also shares why he thinks college baseball is broken, what it was like at Mississippi State, and the challenges players face transitioning from college to the pros. He gives a raw look at life off the field — from bouncing between cities to the impact his wife has had on keeping him grounded. -----------------HostsEric Hosmer /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @hosmer305⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Peter Moylan / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@petermoylan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Justin Su'a /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @justinsua⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Interact with the Diggin' Deep Crew on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Advertising & Partnership inquiries: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠diggindeep@moonballmedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MoonBall Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast

"It was pure rock ‘n' roll heaven." That's how guitar legend Pat Travers describes the most unforgettable gig of his life—a scorching summer day in 1978 at Oakland Coliseum, sharing the bill with Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen, Foreigner, and his own Pat Travers Band. Five powerhouse bands. One stage. Over 65,000 screaming fans. “It was the best show I ever played,” Travers told Rick Beato. “It started at 11 in the morning and didn't let up. Just hit after hit, band after band.” Van Halen. AC/DC. Nobody remembers who went on first—and it didn't matter. What mattered was the energy, the music, and the wild backstage scene, where legends mingled like it was just another day in the park.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    We get back the topic to learn that the pyramid wasn't built by a spacefaring race but the descendants of a spacefaring race from long ago. We also know from a previous channeling session that the plans for the great pyramid were not from earth but rescued from Atlantis. We next discuss the people from the time of the pyramid building and how their brain usage was much higher than it is now but dropped dramatically ever since. The good news is it has been growing with the potential to grow even more. One key thing we do learn is that when it hurts to concentrate on something, it means there is brain growth taking place. That brings up the question of geniuses and their known idiosyncrasies. He gives a good reason for why they are and then answers questions about his own position as head of Hades Base to end things. Karra is our next speaker and we have the major healing of Carrie scheduled in a week or so at that time. She has a list that's pretty short this time of the last few items she will need. For those who don't know, Carrie had been diagnosed with cancer and told she could never have children. The healing we discuss is one where they got over a hundred people to join in a meta-concert that we focused through myself and a crystal down here. The healing was successful and she has a daughter who now posts regularly on Facebook. We next go over a trip Mark and I had planned for a local New Age center where Kiri and Tia would channel through Mark and take over his body while checking things out. The monitors on the base could then give more information on the energies involved we were checking out. We next get to a funny recent incident where Mark and I had attended the Pink Floyd Pulse concert tour and, on the way back from the Oakland Coliseum, I let Karra take over my body and drive the car while I watched from inside my mind. Normally it is the other way around so we got a have a good laugh afterwards. Last to speak for the evening was Tia to finish things up. With the main information already gone over, we were just chatting about anything as we sometimes did to end a tape and this time we traded jokes before going over plans about a Renaissance fair Mark and I would be working. Just then I spot a spider and we get into trying to catch it to let it outside. That doesn't go well and the spider gets out into the room somewhere behind Mark. Tia, is very defensive of Mark, so we go over ways to deal with the situation before she breaks into her Incey Wincy song. It's just after that Tia discovers that purring through another's body is very hard when the tongue isn't designed the same as her her body. The session comes to an end and another good one gets added to the archives of Ashtar Command.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 05/11/1994. Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)-  Omal continues on with who built the Great Pyramid and how the human brain usage came from a low point to where we are now. We next get his take on his position as head of Hades Base. 2.)(13:54)- Karra discusses the items she would need for the big healing planned for Carrie. From there we move on to a visit where Kiri and her would take over Mark so they could monitor the expected energies. 3.)(24:57)- Tia and I trade jokes before finding out we can't recreate a Renaissance fair on the base using the hologram room because it can onlt be used for work. A large spider then joins the channeling session.

On September 26th, 2024, the Athletics played their final game ever in Oakland, the city they've called home for 57 years.

History will sneer.”  For the conclusion of our Death of a Sports Town series, we trekked to the Oakland Coliseum and bore witness to the sights, sounds, and emotions of a city's last gasp as a big time pro sports town.  It was a poignant and passionate display from a vibrant and rich fanbase, defiant to the very end.
