Cheer for the Athletics while they are still here...

The Crossdressing Club had such a good time at the Giants Pride Day in June, we decided to do it again at the Oakland Athletics Pride Night on Friday, September 1!

The A’s Pride celebrations commemorate Glenn Burke, who played 101 games for the team in 1978 and 1979. A multi-sport star athlete at Berkeley High, Burke was a gay man out to his teammates but not the general public. He retired from baseball after only four seasons in the major leagues; he came out fully in 1982. Burke died of AIDS-related complications in 1995. The A’s first recognized him in connection with their Pride events in 2015.

A portion of ticket sales to the A’s Pride Night will support the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, and early arriving fans receive a pair of A’s Pride Socks (the team is doing a number of socks-related promotions this season; why socks, I do not know). The special Pride Night tickets are $33 plus fees.

If you want to come with us on September 1, Annelise is coordinating the ticket purchase, so reach out to reserve a seat with our group. Deadline for reservations with the Crossdressing Club is this Friday night, August 25.

We are celebrating 12 years of events together this October!

We meet ONLINE on the 2nd Thursday of every month for a discussion group on Zoom - the next Online International Crossdressing Club is on September 14th, RSVP here: https://fetlife.com/events/1216619

We meet IN PERSON in San Francisco on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. We get dressed together, then go clubbing at a nightclub dungeon afterparty. The next IRL Crossdressing Club meets on September 20th, RSVP: https://fetlife.com/events/1216620

Holy Toledo! Our Oakland A's adventure turned into a series of wins!

First off, we got PRIDE SOCKS! Knee high baseball socks with a rainbow and trans pride stripe in the back, where the seam on a pair of stockings would be.

Then, we got to see Shohei Ohtani play baseball! Someday, that might be like saying you saw Babe Ruth in a game. If you would like to learn more about this superstar, who redefined what is possible in baseball from Japan to America, you can read about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shohei_Ohtani

Since the A's are having a series of SELL protests, some of our members participated in the chanting during the 5th inning and brought signs. Our beloved local team is threatening to relocate to Las Vegas, so attendance at home games has plummeted. This means that there was a mix of rainbow-clad folks celebrating PRIDE NIGHT at the ballpark (like us) and a huge flood of Ohtani fans outnumbering normal attendees. We got a taste of the coordinated cheering popular at NPB games in Japan where he used to play for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.

Our troubled hometown heroes were up against the world's greatest player and his heavily favored LA Angels - and THE OAKLAND A's WON!!!

We didn't just win, we had an incredible 5-run inning for a final score of 9 to 2!

What a perfect close to our summer, out at the ol' ball game!
