My second impulse was to find a picture of Reggie Jackson in his A's uniform.
My third impulse was to find a picture of Sal Bando in his A's uniform.
I even considered looking for a picture of Rollie Fingers in his A's uniform, but he was a pitcher and not a hitter. I considered Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, Blue Moon Odom and Dennis Eckersley as well, but passed on them for the same reason.
Others that passed through my mind included Bert Campaneris, Gene Tenace, Joe Rudi and Blue Moon Odom.
There wasn't a snowball's chance in hell that I was going to post a picture of either of the Bash Brothers.
I'm not as familiar with any of the modern era of A's players.
Rickey Henderson won out in the end since he is ocnsidered one of the greatest lead-off hitters of all time as well as one of the greatest base-runners of all time. His 4 stints with the A's will have him forever in green and yellow in my memory.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

We think Twitter is a great place to be a bit more casual with our fans while Google+ gives us a place to hang out (literally) with you.
We'll continue to syndicate important news items on all three networks, but we feel each network brings different, compelling opportunities to interact with you all. |
)...How many of those Facebook 'friends' are 'friends' because there was a promotional emote giveaway (/facepalm) that required a Facebook account and friending CoH versus people who like and use Facebook and friended CoH on their own accord?
Put a GMOTD pop up in the game announcing that folks can get an emote giveaway by signing up for the forums (and give us /doublefacepalm) and I guarantee you the forums will suddenly have a larger audience than Facebook.
And speaking of Twitter, please don't do anything to increase the number of Twitter posts per day. I'm already considering stopping the direct-to-smartphone alerts because the Twitter posts are starting to become too numerous and spammy... there were already 10 posts in the past 24 hours. We really didn't need each place in the costume contest to have its own Twitter posting. That's akin to those oft-made-fun-of folks who constantly Tweet every little thing they're doing all day long. Or maybe create a second Twitter account for spammy stuff like that leaving the main channel open for important alerts.
Anyway, welcome, again!

Hmmm... new guy... well... might as well give 'im the Steelclaw treatment... but what kind of list would do for someone named "Hit Streak"...?
Heh...
We shall now find out what our new Assistant Community Manager is made of by determining what his screen name is made of...
* Steak (mmm.... beefy!)
* Tears (aww... a mysterious man with a cursed past?)
* Star (his coming was foretold... by big balls of gas that glowed a few billion years ago)
* Rats (we'll assume the Chinese Zodiac reference rather than the disease carrying vermin one)
* Heart (bold courage and enduring sympathy... or the wimpy useless kid who helped create Captain Planet...? Time will tell!)
* Heat (oh lord... all the CoH fan-girl hearts are gonna go all pitty-pat again... machismo to help them get over Beastyle)
* Treat (well... I guess it's better than the "trick" option...)
* Hate (FINALLY! someone on the team who isn't completely blue-side!)
* Hatter (as in "mad as a...."?)
* S**t (really? are we SURE he's not a developer?)

My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
I've liked all the community peeps so I've decided to hate this one just to change things up.
I think that instead of "Hit Streak" I'm going to call this one J-Law.

No. No more welcomes. I refuse to get emotionally attached to another one of you just to have you leave in a few months.

Welcome to the greatest place on earth.
Welcome. I really hope you are a gamer as we have certain personality quirks that do not exist in the rest of the world.
I really hope you last longer. I am not sure I would ever leave a job at paragon studios, but I also doubt they would want a soon to be professional counselor on staff.
Good luck, and welcome to the community. You will soon see that there are some things that we can be very passionate about. Also understand that many of us have "known" each other for over 7 years.

However I'm sure you have been informed about some of the more, shall we say, "vocal" players that are on these forums.
