Vida Blue pitched in the majors for 17 seasons from 1969-1986 with the Oakland A’s (1969-1977), San Francisco Giants (1978-1981, 1985-1986) and Kansas City Royals (1982-1983). Blue is a member of both the A’s Hall of Fame and the Giants Walk of Fame. Blue was a six-time All-Star and played an integral role in the success of the early 1970s A’s dynasty that captured three consecutive World Series titles in 1972, 1973 and 1974. He won 20 games for the A’s during their 1973 World Series-winning year and contributed 17 wins the next season as the A’s claimed their third straight Fall Classic.

From 1971-1975, Oakland captured five straight A.L. West Division titles and Blue earned Cy Young votes in three of those five seasons, winning the award in 1971 behind a 24-8 campaign with an ERA of 1.82. He pitched a no-hitter in September of 1970 and contributed to a combined no-hitter later in 1975. In total for his career, Blue went 209-161 with an ERA of 3.27 and pitched 143 complete games. After his playing days, Blue remained active in the Bay Area community, supporting numerous charities and promoting the sport in the inner city along with working as a baseball commentator for NBC Sports Bay Area.
