Sorry for not commenting on this earlier as my recent travel got me off track. I'm sure everyone with a rooting interest watched the documentary "Legends: A's Forgotten Dynasty" on CSN California when it aired in late October. I enjoyed it too, especially the interviews with former players like Rollie Fingers, Joe Rudi, Vida Blue, Ray Fosse, etc.
I think I enjoyed HBO's "Rebels of Oakland" a little better, even though I don't have much interest about the Raiders and only really enjoyed the Athletics' portion of the documentary. But for both, it's refreshing to reminisce about a stretch of baseball where if three consecutive World Series in a row happened in Boston, New York, Chicago or even Los Angeles, it would have been saturated with overkill by now.
Well done.
