Long Schott | Behind the Scenes With the Former Owner of the A's

After a career spent building tens of thousands of residences in California, Steve Schott bought the Oakland A's, fostering the culture of experimentation and autonomy during the 1990s and early 2000s that was highlighted so well in Moneyball. Four straight playoff appearances behind the likes of Jason Giambi, Miguel Tejada and Eric Chavez, plus the Big 3 pitchers, Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder and Barry Zito, cemented this as one of the great eras in franchise history. Long Schott is a story about unlikely victories, from the historic A's squad that tallied a 20-game win streak to the booming California real estate market and beyond. Author John Shea is interviewed here by A's historian David Feldman.
