Jerry McDonald has been with the Bay Area News Group for more than 30 years, with a heavy concentration of NFL football since the Raiders returned to Oakland in 1995. His all-time favorite athlete is a right-handed pitcher at Division III Linfield College in Oregon.
Cameron, the son of former 17-year major league veteran and All-Star Mike Cameron, was signed to the Athletics roster Wednesday. He replaces Esteury Ruiz, who has been battling a nagging wrist injury and was placed on the 10-day disabled list.
“When I ran into the dugout, Fran was walking up to me and my teammates came to me with open arms,” Cameron said. “It was a cool thing to see . . . I had no i dea. My goal was just to come to the ballpark every day ready to compete.” Mike Cameron played for the Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati, Seattle, the New York Mets, San Diego, Miami, Boston and Florida. He was a 2001 All-Star with Seattle, hitting 25 home runs with 110 RBIs and had 278 homers and 968 RBIs in his career. Mike Cameron once hit four home runs in a game for Seattle in 2002.
