He turned down multi million dollars from JJ Henry to manage the Boston Red Sox to remain at the A's who he described as
" there are rich clubs and there are poor clubs in baseball then there's 50 feet of cr@p and then there's us "
" we are the last dog at the bowl "
If we were a baseball franchise in the MLB we'd be the Oakland A's .
So you can see how Beane would be interested in getting involved here .
