Editorial Review: Product Description: GROWING UP WITH THE A S. The Oakland A s and the Martinez family have one thing in common: they stick together through good times and bad. For Donald A.

Every family member had an A s story, from his beloved grandmother to his youngest cousins. Even Easter Sunday was planned around the Home Nine s schedule.
