Stephen Vogt Plays Catch with a Memorable Young A's Fan

As good as it gets.

Remember that young A's fan, the one who wrote a letter to Billy Beane, asking him to tell the team to play extra hard to beat the Angels on his birthday? Remember the postscript at the end of his letter? It said, P.S. I believe in Stephen Vogt . Well, Stephen Vogt remembers that; and once the offseason began, hanging out with that young fan was the first thing on Vogt's to-do list.

Few things are more special than players connecting with fans.
