On August 16, 2008, 3x World Series Champions and A's Legends Rollie Fingers and Vida Blue made a special in-store appearance at Sports Gallery's Walnut Creek, CA Gallery.

Rollie Fingers' 17-year career epitomized the emergence of the modern-day relief ace. After watching him post inconsistent results as a starter, the A's moved Fingers to the bullpen. He excelled quickly and frequently in his new role. Relying on a sharp slider, Fingers went on to notch 341 career saves. Known for his handlebar mustache, Fingers became a familiar site during the post-season, appearing in 16 World Series games. Along with his three World Series Championships ('72, '73 and '74) and '74 World Series MVP Award, Rollie also won on both the American League MVP and Cy Young Award with the Brewers in 1981. His number #34 retired by both the A's and Brewers, Rollie was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992.

Pitcher Vida Blue signed with the Oakland Athletics at age 19 instead of accepting numerous scholarship offers to become a major-college quarterback. He went on to have a stellar MLB pitching career, including being named an All-Star in 1971, '75, '78, and '81; leading the League in ERA in '71; and being named the League MVP that same year. A Three-time World Series Champion, Blue pitched with both the Oakland A's and San Francisco Giants during his career, making him that rare sports figure that is equally popular on both sides of San Francisco Bay.
