How can I pass up today's Card from the Diamond. Here is a classic nickname that I will never forget. When I first became aware of the A's they had a starting rotation that included Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue .. and this guy, “Blue Moon” Odom. He may not rank up there in terms of quality starts, but he sure did rank for memorability.
