Sports Rhymes of the Oakland Athletics<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>
By: Paul Auday<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oakland Athletics\u2019 four championship teams of 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1989, and <\/em>Oakland\u2019s five Hall of Fame players with retired uniform numbers \u2014 Jim Hunter, Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers, Dennis Eckersley, and Rickey Henderson \u2014 are the subjects of this book of poems! Not only do the baseball poems rhyme, they are also entertaining and informative. These biographical and team poems have the added bonus of reminding kids and adults about math concepts like averages, percentages, fractions, and decimals; and<\/em> writing concepts like chronology, setting, alliteration, fact versus opinion, cause and effect, metaphors and similes, and personification.

\u201cIn Sports Rhymes of the Oakland Athletics<\/em>, Paul Auday seamlessly weaves together poetry and history in a truly brilliant fashion. He researched the history of the A\u2019s, but in a storytelling method rich with facts, statistics, and unique trivia, not even found on our site!\u201d
