]]> The Oakland A’s baseball club knew they had to step up when a 9-year-old fan, whose house was destroyed by the recent horrific Northern California wildfires that have destroyed over 8,400 structures, reached out about losing all his treasured memorabilia.

Loren Smith, a self-described A’s superfan, sent a letter to the ball club about losing his collection of jerseys, baseball cards, and baseballs in the recent fires.

Dave Kaval, Oakland Athletics President, saw the letter published on ABC7 News and immediately organized a memorabilia drive to rebuild Smith’s lost collection.

“When we heard that Loren lost all of his A’s memorabilia from throughout the years, we knew we had to do something,” Kaval said. “We are overwhelmed by the generosity we received from players, others teams in the league, and baseball fans from the entire country who so quickly rallied to bring some joy to this wonderful young fan.”

The A’s have even surprised Smith with the opportunity to throw a ceremonial first pitch at game next year as well as season tickets.

Donations from all over flowed in for Loren’s collection. The A’s players chipped in even more on top of their donation as well as other teams, including the Giants, Marlins, Rays, Red Sox, Cubs, Indians, and Tigers!
