Carney Lansford, Bob Johnson and Roy Steele join Jason Giambi and Gene Tenace in the 2023 class.
If this is the penultimate class of the Oakland A’s Hall of Fame, the five inductees will be remembered for touching all of the bases in the franchise’s colorful history.
The reception to Giambi, 52, will be interesting. The de facto captain of the A’s into the early 2000s, and a Las Vegas resident since 1998, is a supporter of the team’s relocation, saying last spring “I love Oakland. Greatest fans in world,” and “I feel terrible for ,” but added that, “to be relevant anymore in baseball, you have to be competitive” and that Las Vegas residents are “hungry” for an MLB baseball team.
Lansford, 66, didn’t get the headlines or accolades of teammates Mark McGwire, Rickey Henderson, Jose Canseco, Dennis Eckersley or Dave Stewart, but the San Jose native was an anchor to the A’s Bash Brothers era.
